This is a hot one but you can dial the chillies down to taste or sub them out for less heat.

Makes a bit over a litre.

150g ghost chillies de-seeded and chopped.
50g carolina reapers de-seeded and chopped
50g habaneros de-seeded and chopped
(note if you freeze them a week or so before you cook with them, it breaks the fibres down and you can keep the seeds in, they blend up just fine and you don't sacrifice any heat, this is how I do them, otherwise if you leave them in when they are fresh they are gritty in the final sauce)
4 granny smith apples
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup molasses
500ml tomato pasatta
1/2 cup apple cider vingar
1/3 cup worcestshire sauce
1/2 cup tomato paste
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp salt
3/4 cup water (add more if needed to get consistency right)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp liquid smoke (I like hickory or apple)


Basically peel, core and chop the apples, cook them until soft with the cider vinegar. Add the passatta, bring up to the boil. Add remaining ingredients stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes will the sugars dissolve and drop the temp down to a simmer for 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Turn the heat off, stick blender the lot and add a little water if needed for consistency. Put some sauce bottles in the oven at 120c for 15 minutes. put the lids in a saucepan of hot water and give them a quick boil, strain and cool. Bottle while hot, and invert them once the lids are on so the lids seal well.

Ph is usually around 3 with the lemon juice, vinegar and tomato, so is shelf stable until you are ready for it. I usually make a few litres at a time.

Word of advice, the chillies will frag your house out, especially on clean up with hot water converting them to steam. Doors and windows open job. But worth it.

That sounds delicious even without the chillies, not being a spicy chilli fan.

Habaneros and Carolina Reapers aren't exactly soothing either!

I think I might substitute for some jalapeƱos and cayennes...

Only about 25% chillies? Bah, I'll put the lot of that in my wonton soup to give it some zing. :))
It goes down smooth but comes out fighting!

You could always make a bbq sauce and leave out the chillies and just add some equivalent weight in chopped tomatoes. It really is an awesome base, and streets ahead of store bought. Cayennes would work reaally well as a substitute.

As a chillie head I used the different ones as the reapers hit hard first, the ghosts come through with an awesome flavour, then the habs keep the buzz going after the others have peaked. This is hot but not stupidly hot for me :-D

Watch out for those reapers


By the way, I think your sauce has potential with about 5% of the chilli ratio

So all hail the God of bbq sauce ^:)^ :romance-kisscheek: :happy-partydance:

A cpl minor changes. Couldn't find ghost or reapers. So used birds eye and habinaro's. I froze them so the seeds could be used. An extra 1/2 cup Worcester sauce and an extra 100ml of tomato paste as that kinda just used up the jars/bottle. We don't have any of the smoke you mentioned but peat reek goes excellent but as we like smokey we added 50% more.
This is the bomb. We had fish and chips for dinner. This sauce was smothered over everything. It went down superbly!!
We have some thai chillies growing that'll make the birds eyes look like kids play, can't wait to the next batch at the end of summer.
Disregard the labelling all credit goes to bumper :laughing-rolling:

Edit... I tripled the recipe and ended up with 5.4L

Chillies don't need heaps of nutrients or perfect conditions mate, slap a couple in and see how you go :handgestures-thumbupleft:
