Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Wearing gloves, carefully remove the stems from the Carolina Reaper peppers. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can remove the seeds, but this will reduce the heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and chop them roughly to help them blend more easily.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a blender, add the Carolina Reaper peppers, white vinegar, garlic cloves, salt, and sugar. If using, also add lime juice and olive oil.

  2. 4

    Blend the Mixture

    Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.

  3. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or sugar according to your preference.

Storage

  1. 6

    Store the Sauce

    Pour the sauce into a sterilized glass bottle or jar. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator. The sauce can last for several weeks.
