For a milder sauce, remove more of the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños. For a hotter sauce, leave some seeds in or add a hotter pepper like a serrano. The raw jalapeño adds a brightness and fresh flavor to the sauce. Adjust the amount to your preference. Store the hot sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The color may fade slightly over time, but the flavor will remain.
