Mango Habanero Hot Sauce

Habanero peppers are one of the hottest peppers in the world and are generally used in the Carribean and Mexico for making hot sauces and salsas.  They rate somewhere between 200,000 and 300,00 on the Scovile scale which means they are HOT with a capital H!!

Ensure you are making this sauce in a well ventilated area as the fumes can be toxic! Also wear gloves and put your cutting board and knives right into the dishwasher or very hot soapy water.  Please do not make the same mistake as my friend, who I will call Dick, who made the mistake of cutting up habaneros without wearing gloves.  Even though he washed his hands well, a visit to the gents room a short time after cutting up the peppers resulted in a rather....uh....unfortunate situation for him if you catch my drift.  Poor Dick!

Mango Habanero Hot Sauce

3 habanero peppers, seeded and deveined (please use gloves when doing this)
3 green chiles, broken in half
1 red onion, coarsley chopped
1 mango, peeled and roughly chopped
1 large carrot peeled and roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 c white vinegar
1/2 cup water
salt and pepper to taste (if needed)

Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until all ingredients are soft. Puree in a food processor until smooth.

Enjoy!
