The first try was a total disaster, it came out so freaking SCOVILLE 1,600,000 that my brain exploded, then imploded, then flipped upside down and landed backwards. I looked like an Olympics version of the Exorcist head crank scene. The second version had no flavor. The third needed more of a smokey kick... Anyway, many versions later, peering at the ingredients lists of many commercial bottles, and lots of exacting notes, taste tests - dividing the recipe into 1/4's and blind testing the variations, and here it is. Hot sauce. I like this cause you can make a small batch for a party, day of. That's a BBQ'd Habanero at the bottom right. I'm also letting the sauce sit for a few days and see if it all smooths out a bit, like an aged whiskey.
