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.

Cooking Instructions

Roast the fresh habanero, Anaheim, and time peppers along with the garlic and carrots in the toprack of an oven broiler preheated to 500 degrees for 5-20 minutes. Roasting times depend on your oven so pay close attention. Turn the peppers, garlic, and carrots to evenly roast each side.

While the peppers and aromatics are roasting combine the vinegar and water and set aside for later.

Also combine the grapefruit juice, passion fruit juice, and orange juice and set aside for later.

Habanero Hot Sauce 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. Karl -

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!) Boca de Fogo -

Heather's Homemade Hot Sauce Heather's Homemade Hot Sauce
Last summer, our garden produced so many peppers that I had no idea what to do with, so I dried them and crushed them into flakes and powders. I love spicy stuff, so I figured I would try to make a hot sauce. This recipe is what I came up with after reading through dozens of hot sauce recipes. Most hot sauces are made from fresh peppers so I had no idea how this would come out. This sauce is sweet and spicy with good flavor. I use dasher bottles to store the sauce and I keep it refrigerated , to be safe, since I have no idea if it can be stored on a shelf without spoiling. Heather -

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! Boca de Fogo
