Hot Sauce revisited

A friend of mine on another board has been talking about a hot sauce his father makes and it has had me drooling. I am a huge fan of hot sauce and have at least a dozen bottles of various sauce on hand at any given time. I experimented today with a new recipe and think it turned out quite well. It will be easier to tell in a couple weeks once it has fermented a little and the flavours have melded but here is what I managed to get out today:

Ingredients:

15-20 hot peppers (I wanted but couldn't find habenero so used hot red chile)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups vinegar
1 cup cilantro
6 cloves of garlic
1/4 small green papaya
2 small green peppers
2 ripe limes
1 carrot 

Steps:


1. Rough chop all ingredients

2. Throw them all into a blender

3. Add the vinegar and salt
4. Blend until you get the consistency you like

5. Place in jars and let sit, no need to refrigerate due to the high acidity (vinegar and lime)

This recipe is not extremely hot. It has an excellent flavor with a delayed burn on the back of the mouth. The limes and papaya add a really nice sweetness and the carrot helps to cut a little bit of the heat.
