Ingredients:
- 2 cups ground cherries, husked and rinsed
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup honey (adjust to your preferred sweetness)
- 2-3 jalapeño peppers, chopped (adjust to your heat preference)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by preparing the ground cherries. Remove any husks and rinse the fruit thoroughly under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the ground cherries, chopped jalapeño peppers, and vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll notice the cherries softening and releasing their juices.
- Add in the honey, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and a few twists of fresh black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Continue to simmer on low heat for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Once done, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Transfer the mixture into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth for a more refined texture, or pulse a few times if you prefer a chunkier sauce.
- Pour the sauce into a clean jar and allow it to cool completely before sealing. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.
