If you have friends whose stereotype reaction to hot sauce is “oh, that wasn’t so hot." This is the sauce for them. F-16 takes no prisoners. I found this recipe many years ago when I first got on the internet. Read more It was from a Chilehead Web Site. I am not sure of the original author but I thank him/her every year I have too many Habeneros… The red Chiles in this sauce give a lingering quality too the “hit and run burn of the Habenero. It doesn’t have quite the heat of some of the new “Extracts” but tons more flavor. Enjoy.. See less
Ingredients
- ½ dried Ancho Chile shopping list
- 1 fresh red Dutch; Thai, or jalapeno chile shopping list
- 16 fresh Scotch Bonnet or habanero Chiles; preferably orange or golden yellow shopping list
- 1 cup coarsely chopped yellow onion shopping list
- 4 Large cloves garlic, crushed shopping list
- 2 Tbls fresh lemon juice shopping list
- 2 Jiggers Amber rum shopping list
- 1 cup white vinegar shopping list
- 1 Tsp dried oregano shopping list
How to make it
- Submerge the Ancho in a pot of hot water and soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Chop Ancho finely and reserve.
- Roast and peel the Dutch Chile. Stem, seed, and finely chop the chile.
- Stem and seed the Scotch Bonnets, (WEAR GLOVES!!)leaving the inner membranes (and, if desired, a few seeds).
- Combine the Scotch Bonnets with Onion and Garlic in a food processor and process until very finely chopped.
- Combine Lemon Juice, Rum, and Vinegar in a nonreactive pan and bring to a boil. Pour liquid into processor, add the Oregano and Dutch Chile, and process lightly.
- Add the Ancho teaspoon by teaspoon, processing briefly in between, pulsing only enough to obtain a smooth, yellow-orange sauce, highlighted by red flecks. (Overprocessing or adding too much Ancho will result in a redder sauce, which is also quite beautiful.) Refrigerated, this sauce will keep up to 8 weeks.
- Serving Suggestions: Try this on Black Eyed Peas or Black Beans. It will also kick up any Caribbean style BBQ sauce and a few drops on a slice of Pizza is fantastic.
