...and I just made my third batch of the month yesterday! This year, I also have a bhut jolokia plant, so I took a risk and used two of those and four habaneros. Oh, sweet baby jeebus the sauce is *amazing.* I added it to my honey-garlic sauce for wings last night. Fantastic! (But my husband insisted that I put anything it touched into the dishwasher myself. Last week, he got a bit on his hands and still won't let me hear the end of it...)

That's really kind of you. I'm sure they'll appreciate it!
My habaneros were about walnut-sized (in the shell walnuts). I just clarified that in the recipe to make it clearer. It doesn't need to be absolutely exact though. It's a very versatile recipe. You can use a little more if you want it extra hot, or less to make it slightly less hot.
And yes, a mix of green and orange is fine. And for future reference, any type of chilli pepper will work in this recipe, just in case you acquire some other types!
I hope that helps and that your sons enjoy it!

I have a question. When your recipe says 6 habanero peppers, what volume should that be? The peppers I have are the size of a small egg - is that the expected size? If I use a typical garden red bell pepper, it would give me just about the same volume. Also, the gifted habaneros include a couple of green ones and a couple of orangish ones...can I use these or should I just use the red ones?

Sorry for all of the questions - I only intend to make this once - carefully - and I want to get it right ;-)

Thank you!

Glad you're enjoying it Darren. I eat it with all sorts of things. It's great on avocado toast, vegan "scrambled eggs", https://avirtualvegan.com/vegan-scrambled-eggs/, on burgers, with fries, breakfast potatoes, tofu scramble, on rice-based dishes like this https://avirtualvegan.com/one-pot-spicy-vegetable-rice/ , on crispy potatoes, stirred through vegan mayo, tacos, corn, drizzled on potato soup and on black beans https://avirtualvegan.com/spicy-black-beans/ .

Just made this sauce and it tastes delicious. What would you recommend pairing it with?

Glad you enjoyed it! It will be fine if you omit the maple syrup or reduce it to taste.

Thank you! I bought the little bottle in a store called Canadian Tire. They are really cheap. Just a couple of dollars each. If you aren't in Canada though Amazon sells similar ones. Search for "swing top bottles".
