Ingredients: 
4 Carolina Reaper peppers (handle with gloves)

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 tbsp honey (optional, for slight sweetness)

1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions: 
Prepare the peppers: Wear gloves while handling the Carolina Reaper peppers. Remove stems and roughly chop them. Be cautious—these peppers are extremely hot!

Sauté the ingredients: In a saucepan over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté garlic and onion until soft and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).

Cook the peppers: Add the Carolina Reaper and Habanero peppers to the pan. Stir for about 1-2 minutes.

Add liquids: Pour in vinegar, water, lime juice, and honey (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until everything softens.

Blend the sauce: Transfer the mixture to a blender (let it cool slightly first). Blend until smooth. Add a little water if the sauce is too thick.

Strain (optional): For a smoother consistency, strain the sauce using a fine mesh sieve.

Store & enjoy: Pour the sauce into a sterilized bottle or jar. It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months.
