Fruity hot sauce wins award

Most habanero hot sauces are strictly one-note affairs. That note being an A sharp in the key of aaaargh. That's because they usually use habanero extracts and those that do use fresh peppers often don't include much else.

Years ago I tasted a habanero sauce that was quite different: Dirty Dick's Hot Pepper Sauce. Not because of the use of fresh habaneros but rather such ingredients as bananas and sultanas that lend the reddish brown sauce a tropical flavor. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the National Barbecue Association recently gave Dirty Dick's a first-place Award of Excellence in the Hot Sauce/Anything Goes category. The sauce's name begs the question of whether they meant to enter under Anything Goes or both!

This recipe we've got over at http://www.epicurean.com is very tasty and won't blow your head off as long as you remove every bit of seed and membrane, but will still heat you up. The carrots, onion, and lime work well with the habanero to create a distinct flavor.

Be sure to use rubber gloves, a surgical mask, and goggles when working with the habaneros (no joke!). More habanero recipes found at http://recipes.epicurean.com/asc_results.jsp?ingredients=Habanero&Chili&Pepper
