Mexican-Style Habanero Hot Sauce

Mexican-style hot sauce focused on the orange habanero's fruity character in a 5 oz glass bottle. Carrots and onions round out the sauce so the habanero's citrus and apricot notes come through alongside the heat. Winner of the 2014 Golden Chile in the Habanero Sauce category.
