Notes
- Heat Level: Adjust the number of habanero peppers to control the heat. Evacuating the seeds and layers can too diminish the spiciness.
- Sweetness: The honey is optional and can be adjusted based on your preference for sweetness. Mango naturally adds sweetness, so taste before adding honey.
- Acidity: You can experiment with different types of vinegar to alter the flavor profile. Adding the lime juice at the end brightens the sauce.
- Consistency: If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a little water or additional vinegar while blending.
- Safety: When handling habanero peppers, wear gloves and be careful not to touch your face, as they can cause irritation.
