Howdy all,

I am growing some caribbean reds this summer so i did some looking around and found this recipe.

Habanero Pepper Sauce
12 caribbean red habanero peppers, stems removed, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup distilled vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice

Sauté the onion and garlic in oil until soft; add the carrots with a small amount of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until carrots are

soft. Place the mixture and raw peppers into a blender and purée until smooth. Combine the puree with vinegar and lime juice, then simmer for

5 minutes and seal in sterilized bottles.

Seems like a pretty basic, tasty recipe. I will say though that I never use oil in my sauces and that I don't usually hold the peppers off until the end. I've always felt that cooking all the ingredients of the sauce together for a long time gives a smoother consistency. It also seems to give all the flavors some time to blend. Give it a go though and post some pics!

The peppers need to go in with the carrots, onion and garlic. Cook it all, then hit it with either a blender, food processor or boat motor. It will bring out more flavor of the chiles and also sterilize the product. Otherwise that recipe is a good all around start. Cook it up!

That's kind of what I was thinking, use fresh Hawaiian ingredients! Maybe Lilikoi or Guava! I'm gonna give it some thought and as soon as I can get my hands on some good pods I'm gonna start expeimenting. :dance:
