Instructions

Slice the habanero peppers and remove the seeds and pith (please wear gloves!)

Add the lime juice and zest and mix to combine.
For best flavor, chill for about an hour to let the flavors bloom.

Notes

To make the habanero less spicy: Simply slice your pepper, remove the seeds and pith (wear gloves, please!), place in a glass and cover with your favorite alcohol. Let sit for 45 minutes to an hour, then finely dice.

Habaneros are very spicy and can burn your skin. It's best to wear gloves so the oil doesn't come into contact with your skin. If it does, apply rubbing alcohol (or any hard liquor) and wash with a good grease cutting soap (such as Dawn) and warm water.
