Caribbean Habanero Hot Sauce
Homemade Caribbean Habanero Hot Sauce ~ this homemade hot sauce is the real deal, and easy to make in your own kitchen, if you dare!
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb fresh pineapple, cut in chunks
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and cut in chunks
- 2 habanero peppers, rough chopped, (keep the seeds and pith for most heat, remove for less)
- 1/2 cup water
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar, (omit for Paleo)
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
Instructions
- Put your pineapple, mango and habaneros in the bowl of a food processor or blender.
- Process the fruit and peppers until they are completely smooth and pureed. Scrape down the side of the bowl as necessary. Note: be cautious, the fumes will be strong. Keep your face averted.
- Pour the puree into a saucepan. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring up to a simmer. Simmer for five minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings. I added more lime juice and a touch more salt.
- Put the sauce through a mesh strainer, pushing down firmly to get as much of the good sauce through as possible.
- Let cool and then fill your bottles or jars. Refrigerate, and eat within the month.
Notes
Use caution when working with hot peppers like habaneros. Wear gloves, and avoid breathing in the fumes. Wash hands well after handling hot peppers.
