With all the hot and spicy fare I've been relishing, I decided it was nigh time to make my own hot sauce. Given that I work with a large contingent of Island women, it made sense to make a "pepper sauce" like the kind they break out at lunch, packed with the hottest peppers and a touch of exotic sweetness for good measure. Four home-grown habaneros, one Hatch chili, a mess of both white and Egyptian onions and a heady dose of garlic later, I had some hot, hot sauce canned away for Winter use and a jar for using now. In addition to the flame of the peppers, I tossed in a cup of shredded homegrown carrots and the flesh of two mangoes to temper the fire, which mellowed just enough to prevent my stomach catching on fire instantaneously. After a few days in the fridge, the sum of the parts married together so well that it formed it's own flavour base under all that nuclear pepper. A simple, plain bowl of shrimp, rice and broccoli turned into a Caribana fiesta with a spoonful stirred through it, and I can't wait to try it as a marinade too!
