‘Smoke Bomb’ Chilli Sauce

This is a really nice smokey hot sauce, that’s good in stir-fries, in wraps or splashed round nachos for a little fiery hit! The smell is fantastic- it can catch your throat if you stir-fry with it though.

6 dried, smoked cipottle chillis,
6 dried habinaros chillis (the reaaallly hot one), use a lesser chilli for a milder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp sugar
cider or white wine vinegar to mix to the consistency you want.

You can make this into either a runny sauce, like tabasco, or something more ketchup like. the amount of vinegar you add will determine this.

To make it, allow the chillis to soak in some vinegar for a couple of days. Once ready, blitz all the ingredients together, and store in a clean glass jar.

Simples! Except watch out for contamination. Habinaros are very hot, and it’s difficult to wash off the heat from your hands- be warned contact lens wearers.
