Mexican-Style Habanero Hot Sauce

While the orange habanero is one of the world’s hottest chilies, this sauce takes a decidedly Mexican approach to it, focusing more on the pepper’s fruity flavor than its intense heat. Don’t get us wrong: This is still darned hot stuff, but it’s also savory and sweet. Add it to eggs, fried chicken, enchiladas — anywhere you want to feel some South of the Border spice. For an eye-opening twist, add a few drops to your next Bloody Mary.

Heat level: Hot.
