Habanerosauce tabasco style

[stef]

Dried chilis would not do the job. They only leave part of the heat but lose that buttery flavor i so cale to like in this...  If u try dried ones, i would make the cooking time longer, add a bit more vinegar to compensate for the poss of juice and afcourse a bit less chili in weight because the moisture is gone and only the capseine remains...  I would even suggest if u use dried ones, that u cut the chili in half and soak it in the vinegar for a night.l then use that vinegar in the recipe ...

Fantastic, something to do with the chillies I have growing.  They keep dropping off and having babies cos I can't keep up.

I so wish i was able to grow them and not buy them.. They are so expensive over here...   Let me know how it went stacelee...  Everyone keeps telling me the stuff is better then tabasco and for sure less acid.. But be careful!

[JuliaBalbilla]

Tried growing them last year with little success.  They need sun and warmth and we dont get much of that in the UK  Last decent summer was 2006 and grew plenty of stuff then ...

I have them popping up all over the place together with lettuce, little yellow cherry tomatoes and flat leaf parsley and cape gooseberries.  Plants that I intentionally plant don't grow but other stuff grows madly.  I have little French white strawberries that are growing wild as ground cover but my sweetheart strawberries turn up their little toes.

Love it . Love it. Love it.

I have made a similar one using birds eye chillies but never posted it because like yours it was deadly.

I dry chillies a lot and grind them in the TMX and like you said NEVER stick your nose in the jug.

If you  do not adore hot then leave this recipe well alone. For me bring i it on. Great recipe.

Not so famous Stef just talkative.  When. I finish with my MANY bottles of hot sauce I will definitely give this one a go.  I love chile but it is addictive and I find myself using it in too any things.  I love congee for breakfast and without chile it would ruin the start of my day.

Lucky you!  Flat leaf parsley is another thing I have problems getting as well :-(

Wow this looks fantastic. I'm am going to make this for DH's birthday, he goes through tobasco sauce like milk (well nearly!) What would I substitute for the cane sugar? I have palm sugar, is that the same thing? Or just ordinary raw sugar? THanks 

[gertbysea]

Cane sugar is from sugar cane plants which are just starting to be harvested in Cairns . It is normal sugar. I am sure you could use raw sugar and probably palm  sugar but why would you want to?  Palm sugar is made for many types of palms and comes from the sap  Boiled down Jaggery,  which some people love,  is made from a certain type of  date  palm.
