Mango Habanero Hot Sauce

[RowdyRay]

Been searching ideas for the habaneros from the garden. Came across this recipe. Sorry, didn't take pics of the process. Wasn't sure how it would turn out. I used 6 of my biggest habs, half a vadalia onion, almost a cup of shredded carrots and a tsp. of kosher salt. Made 9 1/2 half-pints.

Mango Habanero Hot Sauce

Ingredients:
8 Mangos, peeled, pitted, chopped
2 - 10 Habanero peppers depending on taste, stemmed
1 medium onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup diced or shredded carrots
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbs. oil Salt to taste

Directions:
1. Heat oil in saucepan and cook garlic, onion, and carrot a few minutes. Then add habaneros and mango and cook about 10 minutes. Add vinegar, sugar, and ketchup and simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Blend in blender until desired consistency. Add salt to taste. Add a bit of water if sauce is too thick.


Wasn't really sure about it last night. But after leaving it overnight the flavors have really melded together. Thought it would be hotter too. Maybe I'm getting used to the heat, but think I'll add more habs next batch. It's definitely worth further experimentation. Should be great on chips or whatever. Thought you folks might enjoy it.

Sounds different and pretty good actually. I still have some habs coming in, I;ll have to walk out back and check the mango tree. Thanks Ray maybe Ill make a half batch. Take alittle of that, add some rub and use a wing glaze.

Wanna try it on some wings on the grill this weekend. This will for sure give them some kick.

That's not a bad idea. But only the ones I can outrun. Hehe.

Right on! I like the looks and sounds of this one! I'm thinking jerked chicken sausage, should have a run at this one. Thanks for sharing !

Ray! I'll bet that will be kick'en with some chick'en! Hard to get good mangos here in the middle of BFE... but if I can, I'm trying this.

I will look at the big store for mangos next time I get out. If I cant find any I was thinking on using peaches, maybe even canned. Well see.

This looks good, my father inlaw gave me a bag of habs and I had no idea what I was going to do with them, I am partial to jalapeņos. I will have to give this a try.

Was hoping to experiment a little too. Peaches and apricots were the first thing I thought of. One recipe I found even had strawberries in with the mangos. Not sure how the garlic would be with any of those, but it could be left out too.

The one thing I was unsure of was the vinegar. It was very dominate in both smell and taste. After it sat, overnight that isn't the case. About half of the recipes I found used lemon or lime juice in place of the vinegar. So there's another idea play with too.

Great Job Rx2....... Be curious to see what uses you come up with for it...... Mango & Japs in Chicken sausage is a killer combo!.... Rock On!

Now there's an Idea on the other acids, may be the key. Its tricky getting just the right flavor, When I work on some rubs and sauces you taste the small changes so many times it's hard to judge, after awhile you just need to take a day off from it, let it mellow out and taste again. I like the whole Idea and well have to share notes.......Thanks again.

Nice job Ray...In the Carribean (sp) where habs and scotch bonnets are the pepper of choice, fruit is quite often mixed with to tame the heat but still let the flavor come through...
I once mixed a fruit salad with some habs in just for fun...went well with the tropical fruits but not so much with melons...water melon and cantalope were freaking hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
