If you enjoy spicy flavors and Canning and you like it HOT? – Habanero Gold Sauce is a must try. Habanero is the pepper that will add heat to your dishes. This small orange pepper has intense spiciness, but for those who love hot sensations, it’s just what’s needed. Here are some recipes to keep for those times when you need to add real fire to a dish. Remember that habanero is very hot.
