Pineapple Habanero Hot Sauce
A sweet and spicy hot sauce recipe using sweet pineapple to tame the fiery heat of habanero peppers and enhance their natural fruity flavors. Pineapple Habanero Hot Sauce is perfect for dousing on tacos, burrito bowls, eggs, or anything else you want to kick up a notch.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple (canned or fresh)
- 4 habanero peppers (seeds removed or see note)
- ½ small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small handful of cilantro
- ½ inch piece of ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- 1 lime (juiced)
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Roughly chop all ingredients, add to food processor or blender with cumin, juice of one lime, and vinegar. Process until smooth.
- Pour sauce into a small sauce pan and heat over medium heat for about 15 minutes to let the flavors come together and cook the ingredients.
- Cool slightly, then pour the sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp. I use the back of a spoon to help push the sauce through. If you want a chunkier hot sauce, skip the straining. Or you can strain the sauce, and then add a little of the pulp back in to reach your desired consistency.
- Pour into glass jar or bottle, and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
When chopping the peppers, I removed all of the seeds and membranes as I didn’t want this to get too spicy. If you want to step up the heat, feel free to leave them in – or you can even add another pepper or two.
