My basic recipe

Nicks Spicy Caribbean Hot Sauce
 
1 small Onion -- chopped 
2-10 cloves Garlic -- chopped. I like garlic so I use more
1 cup chopped Carrots or 1 Cup carrot juice( I use Costco Organic Juice)
1-2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
4 Scotch Bonnet Habanera Peppers, 4 Serrano and 4 Jalepeno chopped (or 12-18 Habs)
2 Red or Orange Bell Peppers
1 ea juice from Orange, Lemon and Lime
Zest from each to your liking
2 Tablespoons of Honey
1 Tablespoon of Fresh Ginger
1 Tablespoon of Sea Salt 
1 Bunch of Cilantro
2 Tomatoes chopped(Optional)

Depending on how hot you like your sauces, I've used a 12-20 Habenero's and left out the Jalepeno's and Serrano's. Place ingredients into a blender and mix to your liking until you get the desired texture and thickness of your sauce. Last time I added some fresh pineapple and orange and left out the lemon and lime and it was really tasty.

 
My next batch I will place all my peppers on the grill for a few minutes before I place them in the blender. I'm sure it will enhance the flavor profile of the sauce.
 
Well I just placed my tomatos, jalapeno,serrano, habanero peppers on the grill and made my hot sauce and it really changes the flavor profile and I like it allot. Next time I will also roast the garlic and onion.
 
Placing a 1/4 tsp was to hot for them yesterday. So my next batch I'll try an 1/8 tsp and see how that works. That powder is very powerful and adds allot of heat. I will use it sparingly lol.
