CopyCat Inner Beauty Hot Sauce

Gay Gilmore's Note:

I am in love with Inner Beauty Hot Sauce right now. Though this copycat recipe found on the internet (http://www.wsrcc.com/alison/recipes/inner.html) seems to have quite a different ingredient set that what is on the bottle. I will update the recipe/description after I have made this. Using latex gloves to chop habeneros is HIGHLY recommended.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 32-64

Yield: 2.0 cups

• 12 fresh habaneros
• 1 ripe mango
• 1 cup cheap yellow mustard
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Slice caps off of habaneros, remove seeds and set aside (you'll add them at the end to increase the heat to your desired tastes).
2. Coarsely chop the body of the habaneros and add to food processor bowl.
3. Cut mango into bowl trying to catch all juice.
4. Add the mango flesh and juice to the processor bowl and puree.
5. Now add the remaining ingredients and process till smooth.
6. Taste, and add the seed bundles you reserved from the habaneros a few at a time to taste.
7. Pour into jar (s) or bottle (s) and store in refrigerator.

This is my all-time favorite sauce for burgers or brats off the grill. I've been making this recipe for years. It is fairly hot, but not as hot as you'd expect with all those habs.

Though I don't use 12 habaneros (the kids wouldn't eat it that hot), it's a fantastic hot sauce that is especially delicious on meats.

I just made this recipe last night. I was leery about 12 Habaneros so I started with three thinking I could add from there if needed. I LOVE spicy foods but I honestly think that with 12 habs., this would have been inedible. With three it is perfect. It has a fairly strong bite but not so much so that a person with a milder palate couldn't handle it. As it stands, this is awesome. It will make a wonderful dipping sauce or glaze. Thanks Gay!
