Yellow!

Because I'm dieting 5 days a week, I keep eating the same crap over and over. Filet of dolphin seasoned with salt, garlic powder, and dry oregano, fried in olive oil, plus a can of mustard or collard or turnip greens. And I keep trying my homemade hot sauces on them.

Tonight I used yellow habanero sauce. I had high hopes for this one, because the peppers are delicious. Yes, they're blazing hot, but the flavor is wonderful. Fruity and sweet.

I did these pretty much like the others. Dumped them in a food processor, added turbinado sugar, a clove of garlic, a peeled Clementine, and lime juice. I think. Pureed it and put it in a squirt bottle.

It's excellent. You have to grind it really find to get it to squirt, but it's worth it. The fruity flavor is pretty obvious in the sauce, even after you apply it sparingly to food.

I think the "habanero golds" I'm growing will be even better. It's a similar flavor, but they're bigger and sweeter. You can find the yellow habaneros (seeds) on this page: CLICK.

I have to say, I'm pretty disgusted with store-bought sauce. I have no idea what I'm doing, but the homemade stuff I threw together without thinking is a thousand times as good as anything I've had with a label on it. I'm probably going to cut way back on buying sauce. I think Frank's is good for wings, but really, shouldn't I be able to make something a lot better? Maybe a combination of lemon and fresh orange juice instead of the vinegar Frank's is based on.

You'd think the professional sauce people would have a clue, but apparently they're complete losers. I had no idea.

Buy yourself some peppers and see what happens.
