Notes
- Wear gloves: Use kitchen gloves when handling hot peppers. It's the best way to protect your hands from burning. Avoid touching your face, especially eyes, nose, and lips. Habanero peppers are very hot and can leave your fingers burning, even after washing with soap and water. It's even more painful if you inadvertently touch your eyes or mouth with those burning fingers. Latex disposable gloves are your friend.
- Heat level: You can adjust the spice level for this homemade hot sauce recipe. For maximum heat, leave the seeds and membrane on the habanero peppers. (The seeds and membrane contain most of the pepper's heat). To make your sauce less spicy, remove the seeds and membrane from one or more of the peppers. If you're unsure, remove the seeds and membrane from all of the chili peppers, but reserve them. Process the rest of the ingredients as per the recipe instructions. Then taste. If you want more heat, gradually add the reserved seeds and membrane, processing, and then tasting, until you have enough heat for your liking.
- Sweetness: This recipe has agave nectar to provide a perfect balance of sweet and heat. You can use maple syrup, or honey if you prefer. The sweetness of the mango will also affect the sugar level. If you want a sweeter flavor, add an extra tablespoon of syrup.
- Consistency: For a thicker or thinner sauce, decrease or increase the amount of vinegar.
- Storage: Store your uncooked, unfermented mango habanero hot sauce in an airtight container (preferably a glass bottle or jar) in the fridge for 1-3 weeks. To be safe, use a kitchen PH meter. The PH of your hot sauce should be less than 4.6.
