I know I have neglected this blog. I hope, but doubt, that I will get my feet under me with all of the blogs I am running (4). When I do, I will start getting this one updated more often. Until then here is a quick recipe for Red Pepper and Chocolate Habanero Ketchup.

2 Red bell peppers Roast in a 425 degree oven until mostly black put in a plastic bag until cool. When cool remove as much skin as possible.
1 minced Chocolate Habanero Pepper (no it doesn’t taste like chocolate it is just brown)
1 medium onion
2 tlbs sugar
2 tbls red wine vinegar
4 cloves of garlic crushed
3 oz tomato paste.
1 1/2 tsp cumin
3 bay leaves
2 tbls sugar
3/4 water
Add everything in a pot bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 1 hour. Remove bay leaves and blend until smooth adding salt until it tastes right to you. Eat on a hamburger, pass out with joy!!

Yes I know that I can go to the store and buy ketchup, but it’s not going to have habaneros 😀
