HABANERO SAUCE
A milder sweet-spicy habanero sauce, but can be made hotter by adding more habaneros. I chop the peppers and garlic in a mini food processor to ensure there are no large chunks in the sauce. It goes great on anything, but mostly we eat it as a dip/salsa with tortilla chips.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together in bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to three days. Use with chips, on tacos or as a condiment to any Mexican dish.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best salsa. If your tomatoes are not ripe, you can roast them in the oven to concentrate their flavor.
- Choose the right type of habanero pepper for your desired level of heat. Scotch bonnet peppers are the hottest, followed by habaneros, and then jalapeños.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the habanero peppers before using them to reduce the heat. However, if you want a spicier salsa, you can leave some of the seeds in.
- Be sure to taste the salsa before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lime juice, cilantro, or salt.
- Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
