3 Large Roma Tomatoes

8 Medium Habanero Peppers (stemmed & seeded)

1 Cup Baby Carrots (finely chopped)

1 Medium Onion (finely chopped)

2 Garlic Cloves (minced)

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

1/2 Cup Distilled White Vinegar

Juice of 1 Lime

Saute onion and Garlic in the Olive Oil. Stir in the Baby Carrots along with a small amount of water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until Carrots are soft. place the Habanero Peppers, Vinegar, and Lime Juice in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Add the Onion, Garlic, and Carrot mixture and continue to puree until smooth. Return to the stove and simmer another 5-10 minutes. Strain the mixture into an empty 'hot sauce' bottle. You can take the strained ingredients and place in a jar and put in the refrigerator. It will be somewhat like Horseradish, but with the Habanero touch. This is an extremely hot sauce that you should use with caution.
