Caribbean Red sauce

[SRBII]

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!

Howdy Greg, i think i might omit the oil as well and simmer a bit longer than 5 min.

Sweet Onion = my 2cents

....little bit of salt wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks SRBII, I'm going to try this tomorrow. I don't have a ph tester, is this recipe ok to shelf once in the woozies?

I'm getting inspired!

Hmmm,...how bout a sauce with some fresh "Kula Onions" and "Hawaiian Papaya"...yum!

 

[kauaidundee]

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.

[nikzup03]

this looks awesome, i'm growing carribean reds (i think i have at least 6 plants) so i will definitely give this a try!

 

[LunchBox]

I like this too...I have 5 Careds that have a stupid amount of green pods per plant. It's one of my favorites!
