I find the heat from the habanero more pleasant than from +cayenne pepper, and so I highly recommend using them if you have +them. One of the nice things is that the fat from the avacados seems +to bind well with the capsaicin resulting in a quick burst of heat +that fades very quickly and does not become overpowering over time. I +once tried this with two peppers and it was not a good idea: the heat +dominated and drowned out a lot of the other flavors. + +As for the salt you can use more or less. The recipe I started with +used a teaspoon of salt, but the [[http://www.salsafreshgrill.com/][local burrito place]] guacamole was +rather much tastier and noticeably saltier so I tried a tablespoon +instead and was pleased with the result. diff --git a/Habanero Hot Sauce.muse b/Habanero Hot Sauce.muse new file mode 100644 index 0000000..87c503f --- /dev/null +++ b/Habanero Hot Sauce.muse @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +* Ingredients + + - 15ish Fresh Habaneros + - 1 Mango + - 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar + - 3 tbsp molasses + - 1 tbsp cumin + - 1 tsp koshering or sea salt + - 1 tbsp cayenne pepper + - 1 tbsp paprika + +* Directions + + 1.
