Fruity, Fiery, Smooth Habanero Salsa

Rebecca Lindamood

Ingredients
  

  • 15 fresh habanero chile peppers stemmed and seeded
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • the juice of half a lime
  • Sprite

Instructions
 

  • Add the habaneros to a blender with the salt. Fix the lid in place and blend on high until the peppers are finely chopped.
  • Add the lime juice to a one cup measure and pour in enough Sprite to bring the liquid to 1/3 cup. Carefully remove the lid of the blender (taking care not to breath in the pepper fumes). Pour in the lime juice and Sprite mixture. Fix the lid back in place, and blend on high until perfectly smooth, scraping down the sides from time to time if necessary. If the mixture is too thick, add and blend in 1 tablespoon of Sprite at a time until it reaches desired consistency. It should be about as thick as tomato sauce.
  • Pour into a mason jar or other stainproof container with a tight fitting lid. Can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
