Ingredients

  • 2 ounces ghost peppers about 5-6 average sized ghost peppers
  • 6 ounces carrot about 1 medium sized carrot
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon extract or use the juice from 1 lemon
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ cup water for thinning, or use more as desired

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Slice the ghost peppers in half lengthwise (be sure to wear gloves!) and place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
  • Peel and slice the carrots in half and set them on the baking sheet.
  • Slice the ends off of the garlic cloves and set them on the baking sheet. This will let them squeeze out of their skins easily.
  • Bake the veggies for 20 minutes, or until the carrots have sufficiently softened.
  • Remove and give the carrots and ghost peppers a rough chop. Set them into a food processor.
  • Squeeze the garlic out of their skins into the food processor.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar, lemon extract, salt to taste and about a quarter cup of water. Process until smooth.
  • Adjust the consistency of the sauce with a bit more water to your personal preference. Enjoy!

Notes

Heat Factor: HOT! You’ll get some great heat from the ghost peppers.
Makes 1 cup.
