Notes
This recipe contains 15 servings and 0 net carbs per serving. Each serving is roughly 1 teaspoon.
Always wear gloves when handling very hot peppers.
To make the sauce less spicy, after you remove the seeds and core from the peppers, use a spoon to scrape out the insides.
You can also omit the habanero peppers altogether and use only the red chili peppers for a more toned-down version.
