Delicious and very HOT! But, I love how you don't just taste heat in this sauce, you also get sweetness from the carrot and tang from the lime juice...several different flavors going on at the same time. I made as written using habaneros from the bumper crop in my garden. Also, I used bottled key lime juice, which gave it a really nice tanginess. I love this sauce! Thanks Roxy for posting this recipe.
