Mango-Pineapple Fatalli-Hab Hot sauce

This was a total experiment. I'm a total newbie with respect to hot sauce. But i do know how to cook. I'm very particular with measuring my recipe components. Especially for baking breads and mixing my own Neapolitan pizza doughs.

I wanted to try making some hot sauce. I didn't know what portions to put of what (fruits, lime juice, vinegar, etc), so i just looked at the recipes section in THP and extrapolated ratios. I would say this hot sauce making experience was a great success. Especially after 2 days in the fridge, the sauce developed a nice sweet mango-pineapple taste and quick kick to the tongue and throat with heat. The color of the hot sauce is awesome. It is not runny, but just right. By luck i had made exactly 1 bottle's worth. I just re-used my heart breaking dawn hot sauce bottle :D Here's the recipe:

2 fatallis
2 red habaneros

fresh pineapple cubes - 100gm (i cut a fresh pineapple)
fresh mango cubes - 100gm (i cut a fresh mango)
carrot sticks - 30gm
white onion - 30gm
garlic cloves, finely chopped - 4 pieces
oil - 1 tsp (for cooking garlic, onion and carrot)

lime juice - 1 tbs
white vinegar - 3 tbs
lemon juice - 2 tbs

honey - 1 tsp
brown sugar - 1 tsp
white sugar - 2 tsp
sea salt - dash

step 1 - put mango, pineapple, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and lemon juice in blender till its like puree.
step 2 - cut peppers, remove seeds, placenta add to blender and blend till its like puree.
step 3 - in a saucepan, heat the oil and fry the onions, garlic, carrots, until onion is translucent
step 4 - take the fried mix and put into the puree in the blender and blend again
step 5 - pour the mix into the sauce pan and simmer for 15mins
step 6 - after that, using a fine strainer pour the puree and using spatula and squeeze and this should remove the rough parts from the puree and make your sauce nice and smooth.

pepperjam, looks like a great job for your first go at it!

The ingredients sound wonderful and the sauce looks beautiful.



One thing caught my attention in your descriptions- it says-

"remove seeds and placenta" and then later..."push through strainer"



I'm thinking that if you push the pulp through the strainer later, why not just leave the seeds etc in there and get the additional heat? Unless the intention was to have a less hot sauce???


Hope you are enjoying the sauce. As I said, sounds and looks great!

Seeds and placenta into blender so that added heat, but you then strained alot of the heat out. If the heat is wanted hotter after cooking put in blender on highest setting for 3-5 minutes. Just my opinion. Love the color you have. Might want to simmer for 30 minutes to help kill nasties, but I assume one bottle of that recipe won't last long enough to matter much. :D
