BELIZEAN STYLE HABANERO SAUCE - HOT SAUCE
I have tried many different hot sauces in my life, with different level of heat. My all time favorite is Marie Sharp's. Nothing can beat the combination of heat and flavor. My wife was born in Belize and she introduced me to Marie Sharp and she gave us a tour of her factory outside Dangriga, Belize. When we visit Belize we always bring a ton of her sauces back. However, it can be hard to find hear in the states at a reasonable price, so I use this recipe. It is close enough to hers to satisfy the craving. I like to add some papaya to change it up a little. I have even added a little whiskey to it before. Tasted great.

ESSENTIAL HABANERO HOT SAUCE
Planning to use this later this summer - I thought the water bath rationale & instructions were especially clear & easy to follow. From http://www.fiery-foods.com/dave/canning.asp: "Adjust the heat by adding fewer habaneros, not by increasing the carrots as this can alter the flavor & decrease the acidity. This version of the recipe is designed to be processed in a water bath... One way to avoid having to use a pressure canner is to can chiles along with high-acid vegetables or liquids. Two examples would be salsas and hot sauces. The addition of acidic ingredients will lower the pH of the mixture to the point that makes it safe to use the water-bath method of canning. In essence, to use this method, it is necessary to add vinegar, lemon juice, or lime juice in order to raise the acid level. If adding these ingredients raises the acid level to unpalatable levels, the amount of vinegar or lemon juice can be reduced, but the product must then be either pressure canned or frozen. Water-bath canning can be done in a special pot, or in any large metal container that is deep enough so that the water level will be at least 2 inches over the tops of the jars, and can boil freely. A rack of some kind in the pot is also necessary to keep the jars off the bottom of the pot during the vigorous boiling of processing. After the salsa has been prepared, it must reach boiling stage before simmering it for 5 minutes. Pour it into hot, clean jars, being sure to use all the liquid, which is the high-acid portion of the salsa. Put on the lids and process in the water-bath for 30 minutes. Add boiling water during the process to keep the jars covered. When the processing time is finished, remove the jars to a draft- free location to cool. The following tips apply to the water-bath method: equal parts of lemon or lime juice may be used to replace vinegar, if you so prefer. Less chile may be used in the salsas, but not more, since that will reduce the acid content of the final product. Additional salt may be safely added. Start timing the processing when the water starts to boil again, after adding the jars. And finally, additional seasonings such as oregano or cumin are best if added when serving the salsa, rather than before canning." The New Mexico Department of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service has shared the following recipe for canning chiles by the water-bath method. ****NOTE******* This is rated "extremely hot" on their heat scale - I'll let you know after my habaneros ripen.

HABANERO HOT SAUCE
This is seriously hot!!! It's my attempt to reproduce Melinda's Hot Sauce from Belize. In order to preserve the unique flavor of the habanero's, don't cook them with the other ingredients. To cut the heat of this very hot sauce, increase the amount of carrots or decrease the number of chiles. Based on: Belizean Habanero Hot Sauce from The Habanero Cookbook by Dave DeWitt and Nancy Gerlach. I've found this is especially yummy if you're having plain old smashed potato(es). Just make up a batch, and then pour a little (q.v. 1 tablespoon) over the potato(es) and continue fork-mashing them.

HABANERO HOT SAUCE
I was looking for an addition to our rotation of Tapatio, Sriracha, and Tabasco. We like both heat and flavor. This is amazing. It doesn't taste too peachy, which was my fear, just well balanced. It's similar to recipes I found online, one called Bob's "Liquid Fire" and another called Garry's Habanero Hot Sauce, with just a few tweaks.

Steps:
- Put everything in a food processor or blender until there are no more chunks.
- Pour into a glass jar or bottle. I poured mine into a clean 12-oz bottle that used to hold Crystal hot sauce, because I wanted the shaker top insert.
- If you want to keep it shelf-stable, you could probably pour into glass jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Tips:
- For a spicier sauce, use more habanero peppers. For a milder sauce, use fewer peppers or remove the seeds before blending.
- To make the sauce smoother, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
- Store the sauce in a glass jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Use the sauce as a condiment for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, fish, or shrimp.
Conclusion:
Belizean-style habanero sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add heat and flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. So next time you are looking for a way to spice up your meal, give this recipe a try.
