I love "Tabasco" pepper sauce on most types of meats, eggs but I refuse to
pay the high price.

Now the haberno pepper (even with seeds) suits my taste but I have searched
the net for a sauce very similar to the Tabasco sauce (I find lots of
haberno sauces but not even remotely connected to the consistancy of
Tabasco. Some have mayonise, some have other ingredients but nothing simple
like a pour on sauce (I hope I am clear).

Soooo, if by odd chance does someone have a simple (meaning not a lot of
ingredients and not expensive to make), I would appreciate it

THANKS!

Well, Lou, your message is very clear, but I think it has nothing to
do with Mexican cooking. Why do *you* think it does?

I think that it is reasonably cheap, given how little it takes most of the
time. Unless you use it by the gallon:

http://countrystore.tabasco.com/inde...6&moreid= C65

it's not that expensive. A 12oz bottle lasts me for a couple of years.

Because many Mexican hot sauces are very similar? I like Tapatio, which
isn't made in Mexico. It is very cheap, sometimes on sale for US$.50 for
5 oz, but a little less hot than Tabasco. My daughter likes Valentina,
which is made in Mexico. It is very mild and very cheap. We (or she) pay
about US$2.00 per quart. There are a number of other brands. We buy them
at the local supermarket in the Mexican food section.

Try "Franks". Not quite the heat of "Tabasco" but more flavor, IMO.

If you are ever in Ft. Worth, there is a store just a block or two north of
downtown called "Pendrey's" (I think). It's expensive but it has virtually
every variety of hot sauce that's made including a lot of haberno based
sauces. Tabasco has a haberno sauce that's not too bad. You can probably
figure out why they are so expensive. Do you remember the story about the
woman in Albuquerque that bought hot coffee at a McDonalds?

One of my local supermarkets carries three types of Valentina.
The only one I've tried, supposedly the hottest (it says "Extra Hot"
on the label) isn't as hot as Tabasco. Although the label claims
that it contains only chile peppers, it seemed to have a slight
tomato-ey taste. Not bad though, and inexpensive. To pass Tabasco
on the Scoville scale, I'd guess you could add about 1/2 oz. of
Dave's Insanity Sauce to a 12 1/2 oz. bottle of Valentina.

Another brand carried locally is El Yucateco. Their "Salsa Picante
de Chile Habanero" is hot, but their "Salsa Kutbil-ik de Chile
Habanero" (Original Mayan Recipe) is hotter still, and thicker,
almost a paste, compared to the others.

I have tried these and they are great with any type food. The Tabasco Hot
Sauce you speak of is from Louisiana and is aged several years before it is
placed on the market.

Salpicon de Chiles Habaneros (Yucatecan Table Sauce of Chiles Habaneros)

3 chiles habaneros or gueros, roasted
2 medium chiles xcatiks or 4 chiles serranos, roasted
4 green onions, finely chopped
Juice of 2 Seville (bitter) oranges or 1 grapefruit
Juice of 1 orange
Juice of 1 lime
20 sprigs of cilantro (coriander), chopped
Salt to taste
For the garnish
2 small limes, thinly sliced
20 sprigs cilantro, chopped
Slice chiles habaneros and xcatiks in thin strips, and place in a clay,
ceramic, or glass bowl. Add onion. Add Seville orange juice, orange juice,
lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Stir. Macerate for 2 hours.
Garnish with limes and cilantro. Serve with meat, Yucatecan specialties, and
fish.
Makes 1 cup.

From: "The Taste of Mexico", Patricia Quintana,


Habanero Pepper Sauce

12 Habanero chiles, stems removed, seeded and chopped
1 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbl. chili oil
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice

Sauté onion and garlic in oil until soft. Place mixture in blender with
chiles, and puree until smooth. Combine puree with vinegar and lime juice;
simmer 5 minutes to combine flavors. Put mixture into sterilized bottles and
seal.

Yield: 2 cups

Chili Oil

Makes 1 pint
Remove the stems and crush 12 Habanero peppers. Place in a medium bowl with
1 pint of olive oil. Stir, cover and let sit for at least 72 hours. Pour
through a fine-meshed sieve into a glass jar or bottle and cover.
