I tweaked the recipe a little bit, and it turned out amazing. Apple cider vinegar, no raisins, brown sugar instead of regular sugar, 1/2 pineapple and 1/2 mango, and use some local “boonie” peppers because the local mango was ready, but my ghost peppers weren’t. This turned out exactly as I hoped; delicious.

I just made this last night, so I can't comment on the flavor after a week. The sauce is very good, and very hot. I used two whole ripe ghost chiles, seeds and all. I used a blender, then cooked the sauce, then blended again. I didn't have any bottles, so I water-bath canned this in half-pint jars. The sauce is very runny, so bottles would be recommended.

Took a chance on this recipe based on the first review. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty this sauce turned out to be. The aromas caught me off guard (curry like) so at the last minute I added some fresh cilantro. I have made this recipe using different hot peppers more than once and have passed the recipe on a few times. Needless to say, I'm glad I took the chance.

This recipe is incredible! The smell of the puree cooking off was quite the experience itself. I made some tweaks others had listed below including Rita's cilantro addition, brown sugar substitute, apple cider vinegar substitute, extra ginger, and double the carrots! Excited to share this sauce with friends and pour over any kind of Caribbean food I can get and other experiments of course. Definitely going to try adding clove and allspice also next time!

I'm so glad I found this recipe. I've made it at least 4 times. It's a hit at every party and I get requests for a jar all the time. I made it more as a salsa than a sauce and canned it. It's a wonderful recipe, but I like to add my own flair. I used craisins instead of golden raisins and cut the vinegar a little.....
