The heat might be OK - but, I always get an "almost rotten" apricot 
flavour from habaneros. If I were making the sauce for myself I 'd 
probably add another jalapeno (something in the Biker Billy range) and 
maybe some serranos.

Do you make your own habanero jelly? I have had good luck with Mick's 
Peppouri stuff (micks.com) since I got my first taste of it at Pike 
Market in Seattle five years ago. I really like his hot garlic jelly 
as a glaze on my favourite vegetable, pork.
