- 2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped
- 4–6 habanero peppers, stems removed (adjust for heat preference)
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- In a blender, combine the chopped pineapple, habanero peppers, white vinegar, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and honey (if using).
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or honey to balance the heat and acidity.
- Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps to meld the flavors together.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before transferring it to a clean glass jar or bottle.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For best flavor, let it chill for at least 24 hours before using.
Notes
- For a milder sauce, remove the seeds and membranes from the habanero peppers before blending.
- Try adding a handful of cilantro or a teaspoon of smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor.
