Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet peppers either bell or those mini peppers will work
  • 1/2 pound Fresno Peppers these are a slightly spicy 3-4 inch long pepper
  • 3 cups vinegar I use white OR mix it with apple cider vinegar
  • 2 habaneros
  • 12 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup Sugar substitue honey as desired
  • 1 TBSP salt kosher or sea salt are fine here, adjust kosher salt as needed

Instructions

  • clean sweet peppers to remove seeds
  • use scissors to clean up habaneros and red peppers, leave seeds intact if you like it spicy
  • you're going to be removing the habaneros so leave as whole as possible
  • place all the peppers in a heavy dutch oven
  • mix in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil
  • reduce heat and simmer until peppers are soft
  • cool until it can be handled
  • if you don't like the heat remove the habaneros now, they will leave behind SOME of their heat which is perfect for this recipe OR leave them in if you like some spice
  • then whirl in batches in a food processor
  • run through a food mill or a sieve to remove skins and seeds
  • put in a clean saucepan and cook until you reach the desired consistency
  • taste your sauce, add more salt or sweetener as needed, I find I almost always need a bit more salt
  • you can put these in jars and seal them following the directions for hot water bath canning OR put the whole batch in the fridge no canning needed

Notes

  • you will need a food processor and a food mill or a sieve for this recipe-you can skip the food mill if you don't mind a few seeds and a little bits of pepper skins
  • if you can't stand ANY heat use ALL sweet peppers and 1-2 jalapenos for a little kick
  • if you LOVE heat leave those habaneros in seeds and all!
