  1. Remove the stems and seeds from the habanero peppers. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat.
  2. Place the peppers in a blender or food processor with the vinegar, water, garlic, salt, and sugar.
  3. Blend the mixture until it is smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
  6. Allow the sauce to cool, then transfer it to a jar or bottle. Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • This habanero sauce is very hot, so use it sparingly. It can be used to add a spicy kick to a variety of dishes, such as wings, tacos, or sandwiches. Enjoy!
