Fill a large stockpot halfway with water and add 1 t. salt; begin heating over high heat.

Meanwhile, peel the white onion and cut it into quarters; place in a bowl.

Wash the jalapeño peppers well, drain, and add to the bowl with the onion.

Break up 8 garlic cloves. You can cook the garlic in their husks, and it will eventually fall off, so no need to peel them. Place them in the bowl.

Take all of the vegetables in the bowl and carefully pour them into the stockpot. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat until the water is just at a simmer.

Simmer the vegetables for approximately 20 minutes. The jalapeños and onion should be soft, and the peppers should be an army green. The garlic will fall from its husks.

Drain the veggies from the water and place into the bowl of a blender.

Add 2 t. kosher salt (you may want to start with 1 t. salt and work your way up if you are using table salt to see if you need a full 2 t.). Add ½ c. avocado oil and 1 ½ T fresh lime juice.

Place the lid on the blender and blend 1 full minute. Taste for seasoning. You may want to add additional salt or lime juice if needed. If for any reason you need to thin the puree, add 1 T. water at a time until the blender moves easily.

Pour the jalapeño cream into squeeze bottles and chill. This sauce should be stored in the refrigerator and lasts about 10 days.
