for all you hot sauce lovers...

Habanero Hot Sauce (AKA "Got Fucked" Hot Sauce)


1 ½ cups chopped carrots (from our garden, grown by our children)

2 medium onions, chopped (grown in our garden, started in January)

1 ½ cup lime juice (preferred organic - Santa Cruz - can get at Kroger)

3 cloves garlic, minced (from our community garden - started in October, 2008)

2 tsp salt (sea salt)

1 cup chopped habanero chiles (grown in our garden)

1. Combine all the ingredients, except for the habaneros, in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes or until the carrots are soft. (Adjust the heat by adding fewer habaneros not by increasing the carrots, as this can alter the flavor.)

2. Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.

3. Pour in sterilized jars and refrigerate.



Tequila Hot Sauce (AKA "Anti-Masturbation" Hot Sauce)


1 Margarita (for you while you work)


1 cup Thai Hot Chili Peppers Chopped (lots!) - (grown in our garden - middle string)

6 cloves Garlic minced (for garlic lovers!)

2 Medium Onion Chopped

3 or 4 Amish Paste Tomatoes Diced (from our garden)

1/2 cup Sugar (Organic Sucanat - maybe at Kroger, definitely at Whole Foods)

1 Cup Organic Lime Juice (like above)

1 Cup Tequila (if there is any left)


1. Combine all in sauce pan and cook down (like above), except the tequila and Thai Chiles.

2. Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.

3. Pour in sterilized jars and refrigerate.



Celebrate a blessed season of sowing and reaping - in your kitchen!
