Pique (Puerto Rican Hot Sauce) image

This recipe is for hot sauce! Hot but flavorful. The consistency isn't a thin liquid like Tabasco®. It's a little on the thick side so it doesn't disappear when you put it on your food. Great with everything on your plate...that is, if you love it hot and spicy! This keeps in the refrigerator for several weeks.

This pique sauce is a great way to use up leftover peppers. I had a bunch of habaneros that were about to go bad, so I made a batch of this sauce and it turned out great.
