While at the market a few days ago I saw some of the nicest chilies I'd seen in a while. Big red habaneros!!! So I bought all the ripe ones they had and now it's time to sauce them. I use equal weight of habanero to sweet onion, a third the weight of carrots some sugar, salt, alspice, then enough vinegar to sauce it. Grind it, simmer it, taste it, adjust the seasonings, blend it. I use a little xanthan gum to keep it from seperating so blend that in well. Let cool and bottle. Soo good!! Yes, I did was the damn things before grinding.
Last year I grew some Lemon Peppers, little yellow chilies that do have a slight citrus flavour. Great for eating and saucing too. Burpee Seeds sold them as Hot Lemon, an heirloom variety. Anyone who likes hot peppers should grow these as well. both work well in mango chutney/relish.
Cheers, Dan
