Stir in the sherry during the last minute of cooking to preserve its delicate aroma and flavor. (Cook time: 1 minute)
06 Step
Recipe View
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools. (Cooling time: 30 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Transfer the cooled sauce to an airtight glass container. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The sauce will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.
For a spicier sauce, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in the peppers when mincing.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño to suit your heat preference.
A dry sherry, such as Amontillado or Fino, works best in this recipe.
The sauce can be made a day or two in advance, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
