This bright orange hot sauce recipe is perfect for spicing up eggs, soups and seafood. To cut the heat, use a little more carrot or fewer habanero peppers. Scotch bonnet peppers can be substituted.

I Stand Corrected - This is EXCELLENT I put out the review below me. I have since made this salsa 3 more times and shared with many people. They have ALL raved about the exciting fresh flavor. The reason it wasn't so spicy is because I removed the seeds and the veins. The next batches I removed the seeds and left the veins. It was spicy to my heart's content. Pros: Flavor Cons: None Read More

Good but thinner that the photo leads one to believe When I followed the recipe it turned out very thin. I would use less water next time. I ended up putting in more than a cup of chopped carrot to thicken it up a bit. It is tasty though. And very spicy! It's very good mixed with sour cream or plain yogurt for a dipper. Pros: The hot and fruity taste of the habanero shines Cons: The sauce is a little too thin Read More
