Ingredients
-
4 habaneros, stems removed seeds are your choice Cleaning your peppers of all veins and seeds will reduce the bitter and hot character greatly
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1 lime, zest and juice
- 12 Thai chiles
- 10 ounces mango puree
- 1 onion, rough chopped about 1 cup

- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
1

Then when soft about 10 minutes of cooking add to a blender to puree. Carefully place in blender, place a towel over the top, and start blender at the slowest setting and increase slowly so you`ll have no splatter. You can also run your sauce through a hand crank food mill. If one is not available, a kitchen sieve will also work. The objective is to remove or crush any solid matter left in the sauce and squeeze out every drop. Run the pulp through the blender adding 1 tablespoon vinegar and then press again. I ended up with 1 tablespoon pulp. Which you can refrigerate the pulp and use to add to whatever you want to kick up. Bring sauce back to a boil.

Hot Pack Instructions:.
4
To sanitize and prepare your bottles for filling, place the empty bottles in a pot, and cover and fill the bottles with water. Bring the pot of water to a boil and boil the bottles for 5 minutes. Turn off heat; remove the bottles using tongs and hold upside down to remove the water. Do not boil the dropper fitments or caps.
5
Hold the bottle with a dry towel and fill it with the cooked sauce using the funnel. It may help to first pour the cooked sauce into a clean measuring cup with a spout and then pour into the funnel from the measuring cup. Place the dropper cap on the bottle and screw the cap on tight. Turn the bottle upside down and let set for 5 minutes; this will sanitize the lid. If you choose to use the tamper proof seals, you can use a hairdryer to shrink them in place over the cap.

I placed in a water bath But did not bring to cover the plastic tops. Then inverted for 5 minutes after removing from bath.

Aging:.

The longer the sauce ages, the more complex the flavor will become. Properly packed hot sauce will last six to nine months unopened.
