Hhhhot Sauce
List of Ingredients
12 ripe fresh habanero (Scotch bonnet) peppers - stemmed and halved.
1/2 medium carrot - sliced thickly
1/2 medium onion - peeled and chunked
1 large clove garlic - pelled
1 whole lime - quartered
1 cup vinegar
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
the amounts aren't critical. i started with
75 peppers cause they grow really well in the
DC area and i had to do something with them.
the ingredients (as i remember the amounts)
are all divided by 6 give or take. IT'S NOT
THAT IMPORTANT. FRESH IS IMPORTANT!!!!
bring ingredients to a boil and simmer for
about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
put everything in a blender and blend until
smooth.
yield 2-3 cups
other hot peppers would work and make a
different taste. i may try Thai hots soon
cause they also grow well for me.
cider vinegar would prolly add a nice touch.
this is HOT stuff - not just hot like
tabasco, although it's not intended to be as
hot as possible. it tastes good. go EASY
till you get the hang of it.
AND WASH YOUR HANDS 3 times with strong soap
after handling hot peppers. i'm not kidding.
PS - if i want as hot as possible i grind
dried habaneros and thin to a paste with
fresh lime juice
