Lime and Tumeric Cayenne pepper sauce.

I had some cayenne and chocolate habaneros still in the freezer from last years harvest so I finally got around to making some thin Cayenne pepper vinegar sauce, like Tabasco. I dont measure when I make this. I just go by taste and dont add any water so the PH is always in the 3's but I still check it.
 
Ingredients
 
habaneros
cayenne peppers
2 red,2 orange and 2 yellow bell peppers, no seeds
1 large white onion, peeled
10 to 15 cloves of garlic, peeled
salt to taste
sugar to taste
black pepper to taste
1-1/2 to 2 Tbsp of turmeric
lots of white vinegar until it gets to the consistency that you like.
juice of 2 limes and I also put the juiced limes into the pot to extract the essential oils into the sauce.
 
bring to a boil then lower to a simmer for an hour or so.
 
This stuff definitely wakes up your taste buds with the vinegar, lime, lime essential oils from the zest, and the Turmeric. ZING!

I love my Vitamix. It liquefies everything.
 
 
 
 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Nice to have for the winter. Is it mild enough to use, like, half a jar in some enchilada sauce? Or is it more like hot sauce heat?

Once it cool down it thickened up a little bit and it's got a very nice consistency. Putting all that sweet bell pepper in it and boiling it really cut down the heat. I read somewhere here that boiling the sauce diminishes the heat, if that's true. It was forehead sweating hot with only 2 bell peppers in it in the beginning so I added 3 more to tone it down and they did. Now It's not as hot as Tabasco sauce but not as mild as Franks and because of the lime and turmeric it's very twangy and very good. Some residual mouth burn. It's a good sauce that cuts through and enhances fatty foods like pulled pork or beef. Kinda like salsa needing lime juice if you know what I mean.
