Hello everyone, I am new to this list. I am also new to the pepper world. Last season I had a friend that had three Habanero plants in his garden and he didn't appreciate the heat of the pepper. I fell in love with these peppers. I pickled a bunch and eat them with beans and cornbread. I also experimented with making different types of hot sauce (mostly carrot based.) To get to the subject, this weekend I felt creative. and I think a discovered a process that I have not seen anyone else talk about. First the recipe. One large onion chopped 4 cloves of garlic Six large fresh tomatoes chopped 1 cup of ketsup (adds sweet taste) 10-12 Habaneros (nice and hot) salt to taste two tablespoons of vinegar I cooked all of the ingredients in a large sauce pan until onion is soft. I then took the cooked ingredients and transfered them into a blender. I blended until I could not blend anymore. This is where it gets cool. I have a metal mesh strainer that is large, but the mesh is very thin. I put the strainer over another sauce pan and poured my blended material into the strainer. I let all of the "juice" strain out into the sauce pan. I put the juice that strained out into my hot sauce containers and use it like any one would use Tobasco sauce. I saved the thicker material that did not strain through my strainer and put it in separate containers. I use it like a spread, on sandwiches, toast type crackers, etc. Two products out of one recipe. Both products are very tasty and can be used in many ways. Hope I gave someone a new idea.
