For a milder sauce, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño peppers before slicing. Adjust the amount of smoked paprika to control the smokiness of the sauce. Use high-quality apricot preserves for the best flavor. Sterilize the glass jar by boiling it in water for 10 minutes before filling. This sauce is excellent on grilled meats, tacos, eggs, and more!
