I've been lurking on this thread for a while so when I decided to have a crack at making habanero chilli sauce I thought I should share the results.
I didn't follow one specific recipe, but read quite a few different ones and took the best ideas from each. The result is decent - needless to say it is hot. But there's really good flavour in there too so I am pleased at how it went.
Next time make a much bigger batch and give them away to anyone daft enough to accept one!&
Ingredienta :
garlic
Dice 400g tomatoes, 3 carrots, an onion and two red peppers and sweat with the garlic for 20 - 30 mins
Remove chilli stems and cut in half, but leave seeds and white membrane in for maximum potency! This was about 300g I think
Chop the habaneros roughly
Give the habaneros a quick blitz as the stuff in the pan continues to sweat
Add the cooked ingredients and blitz again
The concoction now gets another round in the pan. About 200ml of cider vinegar and the juice of four limes also went in. It is starting to look, and smell, the part now
At this point I gave it a big stir, waited a couple of minutes and checked the seasoning. A little bit more salt, cumin and a small splash of cider vinegar got everything nicely balanced.
Following a nice slow 30 minute simmer, this was the end result - just under 1.5L in total
