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.

I made a variation of this over the weekend.  Still can't get the bitter taste out of the sauce on the back end.  Argh!

What caused the bitterness? Any idea?

I do not use the cardamom at all, and I tend to go light on the cloves.

Wow thanks very much!!! I'm not a fan of cardamom and go very lightly on clove
Cheers

What were the variations FG?

Yeah FG did you add lime juice I've noticed when I add lime juice to some sauces they get a heavy bitter taste.

I've actually fixed it with a mix of honey and cider vinegar! Go figure as Dru asked what were your ingredients and methods?

With honey and ACV I've never experienced any bitterness in any sauce I've made. I will even use lemon, lime and orange peel and juice and still not have any bitter taste in my sauces.

I hear you my friend it is strange with some sauces I've noticed a bitter taste on the end that is really off putting. After some trial and error I found it was when I added lime juice. And got worse the more I added.

The only way to correct this was by using honey, ACV, till I got it right. It's strange I know but doesn't happen every time. That's why I'm waiting to see an ingredient list and method to compare hopefully find something we did in common!

I know this scientific method works because it how the professor on GILLIGAN'S ISLAND figured out the glue they were making was explosive!!! lol

I didn't use lime but used agave nectar. Don't recall my other tweaks which is my bad for not documenting. I will next time!

Just had a farmer friend give me a ton of pears any chance you'd share those two recipes poypoyking?

 
The colour of your sauce is fantastic, I bet it tastes good too!
