If anyone in Australia wants some Haberano seeds once summer comes, just let me know. I had a look at my plant/s this morning and there are only a couple of chillies at the moment but it will be covered again in a few months....I can always mail some out.
Thanks for your prompt reply Gert! I figured it was just from the sugar cane plants from qld, but I've never looked for it/seen it in coles/woolies before. So are you recommending I buy specific cane sugar? (sorry I am a bit slow! )
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
Stef, thank you sooo much for this recipe. My DH LOVES it, and because it makes so much, I divided it in thirds and gave a bottle each to his keen hot sauce eating mates-they also LOVED it Judging by how much my DH is using it on every meal, I think I will be making it again very soon, and keeping the 1 litre to ourselves!(And you're right-he actually said "I'm never going back to tobasco sauce")!
Impossible to get Scotch Bonnets / Habaneros at the moment, not even by post. Went to an Asian shop today and bought some of their green chillies (the hottest they have) and will make the sauce with those tomorrow. Won't be as hot though. However, possible good news is that a friend who goes to Barbados regularly is off there on Wednesday and that she should be able to get some Scotch Bonnets to bring back for me. Keeping fingers crossed - again! JB
DH made something similar using Naga chiles and nearly blew my head off.
Made this morning with the green chillies and you are right, it has a lovely buttery texture which is wonderful. Everyone who likes the hot stuff should make this!!! I tasted a bit on the end of a teaspoon and it was hot, but less so than with Scotch Bonnets. As you said, the colour is different - a rather unintersting brown (see photo) -- and would be nice to compare with the SB version, when I can lay my hands on some. Thanks for such a great recipe JB
