Mike's Roasted Pepper Inferno Tomato Habanero Sauce

This is a wonderful tomato sauce recipe made with fresh garden ingredients and plenty of habanero pepper flavor and spice. If you enjoy making your tomato sauces at home from scratch, you'll find this recipe very useful. We used an immersion blender to mix the ingredients into a very saucy consistency, but if you prefer your tomato sauce more chunky, skip the blender or only blend part of the sauce. This makes 5 cups.
