A$$Fire Sauce




This is a simple hot sauce recipe with decent flavor that packs plenty of heat.  

A$$Fire Sauce
7 Large whole Cayenne Peppers
20 Habanero Peppers de-seeded and halved
1 Cup White Vinegar
1 Tsp. granulated sugar

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pot and cook on med/low heat until soft.  The longer you cook it the less spicy it will be.  

Once the peppers are soft combine the mixture in a blender and liquefy until very smooth.  

Strain the mixture through a fine strainer, chill, and store in the refrigerator.  


Keep it on fire.

We're Still Cooking! Roasted Habanero BBQ Sauce

Plenty of catching up to do.  Although it's been a month and a half between posts we've been doing lots of cooking and preserving.  So that it's easier for me to reference back in the future I'll be spreading the next few recipe posts 5-10 days apart.  As of now we're still harvesting fresh spinach, swiss chard, carrots, beets, and horseradish from the recently winterized gardens.  Badass.

 Here is an awesome and simple recipe for Roasted Habanero BBQ Sauce.  This was borrowed, updated, and personalized from a few different recipes I have tried over the years.  It's SPICY so adjust the habaneros accordingly.
