How to Make Basic Habanero Sauce
- Wash and thoroughly dry 2-3 habanero peppers. (Warning: Wear gloves!)
- Remove the stems from the peppers.
- Roughly chop the peppers.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped habaneros, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the peppers are very soft.
- Carefully remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly. (Caution: The sauce will be extremely hot!)
- Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (again, caution!). Blend until completely smooth.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve (optional) to remove any seeds or tough bits of pepper for a smoother consistency.
- Once cooled completely, transfer the habanero sauce to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
- Enjoy your homemade habanero sauce on tacos, eggs, grilled meats, or anything that needs a fiery kick!
