How to Make Essential Habanero Hot Sauce
- Combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 cup chopped carrots and 1 cup finely chopped habaneros (adjust quantity based on your desired heat level; remove seeds and membranes for less heat). Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
- Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Puree until completely smooth.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth for an extra-smooth consistency (optional).
- Pour the hot sauce into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal tightly and refrigerate. Your sauce will deepen in flavor over time; it's best after a couple of weeks!
