Besides from canned jalapenos and brine from a jar these are the ingredients for Jalapeno Sauce:

Dairy free sour cream and mayo: these are here to get our sauce creamy and delicious.

Hot sauce adds another layer of spice which is really amazing in combination with the jalapenos.

Dried parsley, chives and dill: you can think of these herbs like a ranch seasoning and that makes everything wonderful and great.

Garlic, onion powder: for me these two add great flavor, because who doesn’t like this seasoning? Right, it’s always good.

Sugar may come as a surprise, but I find it is really good to balance the heat.
