15 to 20 mixed habaneros cut in half or pieces; makes blending easier 3/4 cup white vinegar 2 tablespoons salt 1 bulb garlic, peeled (yes a whole bulb) 2 tablespoons mustard (optional)
First pulse ingredients in blender, then blend on low speed until reached desired consistency, or for about a minute. Transfer into clean glass jars and store in refrigerator. This can stay for a long time in refrigerator. I have some for two years and it's just like new.
Make sure the blender is properly closed before turning on.
This is my basic recipe, you can be creative and add carrots, green papaya, onion (cook for 2 minutes first), green mango etc. Another great ingredient that adds a unique flavour is culantro leaves, for this recipe add about 4 or 5 leaves. Remember to trim the edges off of these leaves because they are sharp and prickly.
