Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Habanero peppers
- 2 pieces Poblano peppers
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 medium White onion
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
Instructions
Wash the habanero and poblano peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems from all peppers and slice the poblano peppers into quarters. If you prefer a milder hot sauce, remove the seeds from the habanero peppers.
Peel the garlic cloves and dice the white onion into medium chunks.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, onion, poblano peppers, and habanero peppers to the pan.
Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until the onions start to soften and the peppers develop a slight char.
Lower the heat slightly and pour in the apple cider vinegar and water. Simmer the mixture for 8-10 minutes, allowing the peppers to become tender and the flavors to meld.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the cooked ingredients to a blender or food processor. Add lime juice, salt, and sugar to the mixture.
Blend until the sauce reaches a smooth consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you can add water 1 tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or sugar if needed.
Transfer the finished hot sauce to sterilized jars or bottles and let it cool completely. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
