Scale
8–10 habanero peppers
2 shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Salt to taste
Instructions
Wear gloves when handling habanero peppers to avoid irritation.
Remove stems from peppers and chop them coarsely.
In a saucepan, combine habaneros, shallots, garlic, vinegar, honey, and salt.
Simmer over medium heat for 20-25 minutes until peppers are tender.
Carefully transfer mixture to a blender and puree until smooth.
Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds and pulp.
Let the sauce cool before bottling. Use sparingly in dishes like chili, stir-fries, or even as a dipping sauce for wings.
