In this recipe I attempted to blend the flavors where you can't identify many of the ingredients. It has a sweet, spicy and smoky flavor all going on at once. As listed, the spiciness is not overpowering. Please feel free to adjust the amount of peppers to your own tastes. The prep time does not include the overnight refrigeration times.
