Habanero Hot Sauce
My Pepper plants are getting ridiculous. They’re not even plants anymore, they’re trees. Well, maybe shrubs. But they’re inside, so they’re like redwoods. Normally, I just dehydrate the peppers and make chili flakes. But I decided to try a hot sauce. It’s edible, good even. Haha. The orange ones are habaneros and the red ones are what I believe to be regular, grocery store variety red peppers. I remember being pissed off about how expensive they were and I threw some in the garden. Then, those peppers started growing. They’re not spicy.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 500 F. Wash and prep carrots, onion, green onion and celery. Cut all peppers in half and place skin side up on a baking sheet. Place garlic on baking sheet to roast as well. Place baking sheet in oven for 10-12 minutes. Put a little olive oil in a pan, season and sauté the other veggies along with ginger for 15 minutes on medium, stirring occasionally.
- 2
When the peppers have charred, take them out. When the veggies have diminished in size and got some color, remove them from the heat.
- 3
Move all ingredients to food processor. Add honey, lime juice from one lime and the rind. Pulse a few times. Add vinegar. Press purée. Begin adding the water slowly while checking the consistency. Remember, you’ll not only be changing the consistency, but also diluting the heat with the water. Check for taste.

Move to a pan and simmer for a few minutes. Allow to cool before moving to an appropriate container. Or inappropriate container, it’s your hot sauce.

Roasted Habanero Passion Fruit Hot Sauce Roasted Habanero Passion Fruit Hot Sauce
I created this recipe because I was always disappointed with my local selection of mass produced unhealthy hot sauce options. Hot sauce is a very hard thing to mess up and can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it. This recipe is fairly simple and utilizes all natural and fresh ingredients with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. The sweet and tart characteristics of the passion fruit and grapefruit pair well with the citrus heat of the habanero peppers while the Thai peppers add a little extra kick. The Anaheim pepper is naturally on the sweeter and more mild side and balances out the flavor of the other two peppers very nicely. The heat is strong but does not linger.

Caribbean Heat! Hot Sauce (Habanero Pineapple) Caribbean Heat! Hot Sauce (Habanero Pineapple)
You know I love the crazy spicy stuff. But the Caribbean spice is more fruitful so in order to tame the Habanero heat, I use the island favorite pineapple which also gives it a nice tang finish right before the heat hits you. (Of course, the heat level is determined by the heat of the pepper batch...this one is extra hot!)

Red Hot Sauce Red Hot Sauce
I looked around on the net for an easy recipe. I found many though I'm not keen to blister and peel 10 ounces of chilies; and I don't want any raw garlic or onions in it as I have read if they are not cooked or preserved properly it can cause botulism. So I decided to make Ehmeril Lagasse's version...

Poquito Picante Hot Sauce by Boca de Fogo Poquito Picante Hot Sauce by Boca de Fogo
I am so happy that I finally nailed an everyday SoCal taco shop red hot sauce! For a while I've been trying different things to get that taste that I grew up with in Southern California's taco shops and I just seem to miss something every time. But not this time! This is a medium red sauce so everyone should be able to handle the heat level and it has a very unique, almost sweet taste mixing habanero and serrano peppers. I hope you enjoy! -

This doesn't blow your head off with heat, but gives a nice citrus burst with spiciness on the back end. NOTE: If you can't find Jimmy Nardello peppers, you can use 1/4 of a red bell pepper.
