- 2hrs
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
1 Batch
ingredients
- 5 bulbs garlic
- 4 -5 habanero peppers, stems removed
- 10 -12 jalapeno peppers, stems removed
- 1 cup pureed baby carrots
- 1⁄2 cup corn whiskey (moonshine)
- white vinegar
- olive oil
directions
- To roast the garlic: drizzle each bulb with olive oil, wrapping in aluminum foil. Roast in oven at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.
- Let garlic cool enough to handle. Breaking the bulbs apart, squeeze the individual cloves into a small food processor, pour in moonshine and blend together. When mixed, scrape contents into a large bowl.
- If desired, remove seeds from peppers. I leave the seeds, tossing the entire pepper into the processor ~ minus the stem of course.
- Puree 4-5 habanero peppers, add to garlic mixture.
- Puree 10-12 jalapeno peppers, add to garlic mixture.
- Puree baby carrots, making 1 cup of carrot puree, add to garlic mixture.
- Thoroughly mix together.
- Depending on your desired consistency of the hot sauce, spoon into 1 or 2 clean and sterilized mason jars. Cover just over the top of the carrot-garlic-pepper mixture with white vinegar.
- The hot sauce will have a sharp bite at first, let sit in refrigerator for a week for the flavors to blend and mellow.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Enjoy trying new foods - and cleaning up old recipes, getting rid of all that salt and sugar.
Also, enjoy adapting recipes to outdoor cooking over a backpacking stove. Preferably a just-add-water concept. Check out some great web sites dedicated to this:
http://www.freezerbagcooking.com and http://onepanwonders.com. Both great sites for ideas of things to try.
Main interests are fishing, camping, and other closely related activities (read "adult beverages"). My other half has no interest in camping or fishing, but does support my extended trips as I do her extended trips.
We also have two dogs, both are keeshonds - they are my fuzzy four-legged children and are very spoiled. They do not eat commercial dog food, but a homemade dinner prepared each day for them.
