Yield:
1 cup sauce

The bold heat of the habanero in this hot sauce is tamed – albeit slightly – by the cushiony sweetness of the peach and the calm, refreshing notes of fresh mint leaves. The soft acidity of tomatoes creates a richer and rounder hot-sauce that should  be used judiciously as a finishing touch to grilled meats but could be doled out more generously in a base for a marinade.

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

Ingredients

  • 1 tomato, rough chopped

  • 1 peach, rough chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1/2 cup mint leaves

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 habanero, seeded and ribs removed.

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth, about 2 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach the desired consistency. Store in a sanitized air-tight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.
