Tuesday, November 30, 2010Aycaramba, Spicey Cranberry Habanero Hot Sauce and Salsa if You Dare!
3
Alright, long absence from the City of Charm, but the test kitchen's never stopped cooking. Today's posting is long due from late summer. One of the nearby neighbor donated some homegrown habanero peppers and some other mixture of milder peppers (got no idea of the name, but check out the picture). Habanero, as you know, is one of the hottest tasting chilli pepper available, ranking on the Scoville scale of 350,000-580,000 heat units. To compare, Jalapenos are only about 2,500-8,000 Scoville heat units. And if you are not familiar with the Scoville heat measurement unit, just google it. Anywho, the recipe is to make a blended habanero spice paste that can be frozen and used for cooking, add to your ketchup for spicyness, or eat it straight up with your favorite chips and take it like a man!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
