How to Make Hot Red Chile Pepper Sauce

  1. Wear rubber gloves! Stem and roughly chop the red habanero peppers, white onion, and garlic cloves.
  2. Combine the chopped peppers, onion, and garlic in a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth.
  3. Transfer the puree to a medium-sized, non-aluminum saucepan.
  4. Stir in the dry mustard, salt, ground cloves, and vinegar. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  6. Carefully pour the hot sauce into warm, sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Seal the jars tightly and let cool completely. Check seals by pressing on the center of the lid. If it doesn't flex, it's sealed!
  8. Store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy your homemade Caribbean fire!
