(if you choose to make it from scratch)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Halve 1 red sweet pepper and 1 fresh jalapeno pepper lengthwise. Remove stems, seeds, and membranes. Place pepper halves, cut sides down, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until skin is blistered and charred. Bring foil up around peppers to enclose. Let stand about 15 minutes or until cool. Use a sharp knife to loosen edges of the skins; gently pull off the skin in strips and discard.
Place peppers in a blender or food processor.
