Provided by BobN

Number Of Ingredients 11

6-8 habanero peppers, stemmed and halved (or Yellow Scorpion peppers, if you have them and want some REAL heat)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup water
4 cups white vinegar
20 garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
8 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°. Set peppers on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast in the oven 15-20 minutes or until soft and skins begin to blister. Heat a large pot to medium heat and add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer about 20 minutes, or until onion and garlic soften. Add roasted peppers and simmer about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender and puree directly in the pot. Simmer another 5-10 minutes. Serve, or strain into sterilized bottles until ready to use. Should keep about a month.
