How to Make Carrot Habanero Hot Sauce
- Combine 1 pound carrots (peeled and chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 2-3 habanero peppers (seeded and minced - adjust to your spice preference!), 2 teaspoons sea salt, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 cup water in a high-speed blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and no large chunks remain. (Taste test and adjust seasonings as needed.)
- Transfer the mixture to a clean, 1-quart jar or non-reactive container.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap, poking several small holes to allow air circulation (this is crucial for fermentation).
- Let the mixture ferment at room temperature (ideally 68-72°F) for at least 24 hours, or up to 3 days. The flavor will deepen and develop each day.
- Taste-test daily. Once the desired level of fermentation and flavor is reached, refrigerate to halt fermentation.
- Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- This recipe is a great introduction to fermenting; enjoy watching the flavors transform!
