Smoky Apricot Hot Sauce

Combine water, vinegar, jalapenos, garlic, paprika, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Transfer mixture to a blender and add apricot preserves; puree until smooth.

Allow pepper mixture to cool; pour into a glass jar with a lid. Store in the refrigerator.
