Jalapeno Metchup- Aka Spicy Fry Sauce

Here's one of my favorite concoctions for "Metchup" (aka Fry Sauce). 

If you've got a "heat" tooth, it might become your favorite, too!

This recipe yields about 3/4 cup. You can double, triple or quadruple it with equal success.

Remember to give it a rest period in the refrigerator before serving. This allows the heat from the jalapenos to mature and blend for some tasty, lip-smackin' Fry Sauce!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 Tablespoons Homemade Ketchup- (Substitute with store-bought ketchup at your own risk. ;-)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic- (2 cloves) grated or minced
• 1-3 Tablespoons Pickled Jalapeno peppers- finely diced
• 1-2 teaspoons Juice from Jalapeno can/jar
• 1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 1/8 teaspoon Liquid Smoke- Mesquite
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Seasoning Salt

Finely dice enough pickled Jalapenos until you have at least 1-2 Tablespoons.  Grate the whole garlic cloves until you have 1 teaspoon.

Put all the ingredients in a medium bowl.  Whisk together until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning or add more diced jalapeno as preferred.

Spoon into glass container. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight if time allows.

Serve as a dunking/dipping sauce  or spread it on your favorite Hamburger.  There are NO RULES when it comes to Metchup. Set your creative soul free and customize it your way!!!
