Start by wearing gloves to protect your hands from the heat of the habanero peppers. Remove the stems from the habanero peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.

Refrigerate
Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavors will intensify over time, so it's best to let it sit for at least 24 hours before using.
