* Yellow tomatoes give this sauce a gorgeous color, but if they are not available use red ones. If habanero peppers are not available, substitute 2 medium serrano peppers. The zest of the orange is the peel without any of the pith (white membrane). To remove zest from orange, use a zester or the side of a vegetable grater.

Notes: >from WW: This strange-looking name means sauce hot enough to heat a dog's nose--and it is! Habanero peppers are more than hot, with a fruity aroma like no other. Removing the seeds and veins will cool the fire a bit.

By all means, wear gloves when handling this pepper! Serve this sauce as a condiment with just about anything: eggs, fish, poultry or meat, or stir a spoonful into soup just before serving. Recipe may be prepared ahead; refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days.
