I was in the mood to make some chipotle style hot sauce and I had a bunch of habaneros and a few jalapenos that needed to be used. The results have been other-worldly. A slightly sweet chipotle forward with a habanero kick on the back end.
What I did:
- A dozen or so habaneros
- A few other jalapenos/chiles I had available to me
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 San Marzano tomatoes
- 2 white onions
- 12 cloves of garlic
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp MSG
- 1 tbsp salt
- 3 tbsp adobo sauce from canned chipotles
The seasoning quantities may not be exact as I didn't explicitly measure everything out.
I smoked the peppers at 200 degrees for 90 minutes.
Roasted the tomatoes, onions, and garlic on a cast iron skillet with a touch of oil.
Blended smooth.
Simmered on low on the stove for ~20 minutes, stirring constantly.
I'm blown away by the flavor. It's not a superhot hot sauce, but there is a habanero kick for those that like the spice. Words cannot describe the bliss I feel eating this.
