How to Make Copycat Inner Beauty Hot Sauce

  1. Slice the caps off of 2-3 habanero peppers. Remove the seeds and membranes (save the seeds for later!), and set aside. Wear latex gloves!
  2. Coarsely chop the habanero bodies and add them to a food processor.
  3. Cut one ripe mango into chunks, catching all the juice in a bowl.
  4. Add the mango flesh and juice to the food processor and puree until smooth.
  5. Add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin to the food processor.
  6. Process until completely smooth and well combined.
  7. Taste the hot sauce. Gradually add the reserved habanero seeds, a few at a time, until you reach your desired level of heat.
  8. Pour the hot sauce into a clean jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld (though it will be delicious sooner!).
