Sweet Habanero Chili Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 fresh habanero peppers, stems removed (adjust based on your heat preference)
  • 1 cup fresh mango or pineapple, diced
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing your ingredients. Make sure to wear gloves when handling the habanero peppers so that you don’t end up with spicy fingers!
  2. In a blender, combine the habanero peppers, diced mango or pineapple, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Blend everything until smooth. You want it combined really well, but if you like a little texture, pulse it a few times instead.
  4. Transfer the blend to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
  5. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld and the sauce to thicken up.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—maybe a pinch more sugar or salt, depending on your taste buds.
  7. Once it’s thickened to your preference, remove it from the heat and let it cool. You can store it in a jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to a month, but trust me, it won’t last that long!

And there you have it! This Sweet Habanero Chili Sauce is a game changer for any meal. Use it as a dipping sauce for fried foods, drizzle it over grilled meats, or even mix it into your favorite roasted veggies. Enjoy and get ready for the compliments!
