CARROTS!!! carrots in a habanero based sauce just works great the fruit flavor in the habs and in the carrot compliments each other nicely


with the vinegar keep testing your ph levels. When your ph level drops below 4.6 your good to go. (When a food product is acidified to a pH of 4.6 or less, according to FDA's "Good Manufacturing Practices," inhibition of growth of C. botulinum is assured. Hot sauce ingredients like chiles, other veggies and fruit are high in pH; i.e. they spoil easily without proper acidification.)

Also if you don't like the vinegar taste you can also try useing lime juice as well.

Sounds nice, like a barbecue type sauce. I personally don't like tomato as a base and I think the carrot has been abused but in the end it comes down to personal taste.

Dyce... I agree with you, lime works great in hot sauces
