Serves 12 

Ingredients: 

4-6 red jalapeños

4 garlic cloves, unpeeled 

2 tablespoons Jalapeño Infused Olive Oil 

3 cups fresh watermelon, chopped

3 scallions, trimmed 

1 teaspoon Fleur de Sel 

1 lime, juiced 

1/3 cup Watermelon Rosé Fruit Vinegar 

Instructions 

Preheat the broiler and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the jalapeños and garlic cloves on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. 

Place in the oven and broil for 5-8 minutes or until moderately charred. Remove the stems from the jalapeños and the skin or peel from the garlic cloves. Blend both in a blender. 

Add the watermelon, scallions, salt, lime juice, and vinegar to the blender. Blend until smooth. Transfer the hot sauce to a sealable container and refrigerate. Optionally, strain the hot sauce for a thinner consistency. The hot sauce will keep for 2-3 months, refrigerated.
