Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh habanero peppers
- 6 pieces fresh jalapeño peppers
- 2 pieces ghost peppers
- 1 medium white onion
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash the habanero, jalapeño, and ghost peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems and roughly chop them, leaving the seeds inside for extra heat.
Peel and dice the onion and garlic cloves into small pieces.
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add all the chopped peppers to the pan and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar, lime juice, and water. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the honey, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, adjusting the consistency with additional water if needed.
Carefully pour the hot sauce into sterilized glass bottles or jars. Let it cool completely before sealing the containers.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Shake well before each use and enjoy the heat responsibly!
