Homemade Hot Sauce

Remember that habanero tree given to us by a friend who was moving (see the post here)? I used the ripe habaneros to make hot sauce. This process takes about a week and because I went back to work this week it took me almost two. Here's how it began, and the finished product:
I got the recipe from Bon Appetite, see it here.

I really should have used gloves and worn a face mask for destemming the habaneros. It ended up being okay because I washed my hands like crazy afterwards. However, my throat was burning the whole time!

I did not have kosher salt, so I subbed equal parts table salt and sea salt

 Day 1:

I left the jar sitting in my kitchen for 10 days, the recipe recommends 7. 

 Day 10:

As you can see my mini food processor was leaking the molten juice all over the counter!

Sieve inside of a funnel 

The recipe does not call for this, but I saved the habanero chili paste to use in recipes. 

The recipe says that the sauce can last in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.
