- 1 cup white vinegar

If using dehydrated habanero peppers, set them into a bowl of very hot water and let them steep for 30 minutes to soften. If using fresh, stem and chop the habanero peppers. Place them into a food processor.
Add the remaining ingredients and process until well chopped and combined.
Add to a pot and bring to a quick boil. Watch out for the fumes!
Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat, cool. At this point, you can strain it through a sieve or toss it back into the food processor for a bit more blending.
Pour into a bottle and use it all up!
