Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh red chilies (such as cayenne, Fresno, or red jalapeños)
- 2 pieces Habanero peppers
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
Prepare the chilies and habanero peppers by washing them thoroughly. Remove the stems and roughly chop them. (Wear gloves to protect your hands from the heat.)
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped peppers, garlic, white vinegar, water, light brown sugar, smoked paprika, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes until the peppers soften and the liquid slightly reduces.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan. Blend until smooth.
Strain the blended hot sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jar to remove skins and seeds, if you prefer a smoother texture (optional).
Stir in the lime juice and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice to your desired balance of flavor.
Transfer the hot sauce to a sterilized glass bottle or jar. Let it cool completely before sealing and storing.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Shake well before using.
