Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 23 habanero peppers
- 1/2 ripe pineapple
- 1/2 onion
- 8 slices of peeled ginger (about 1/2 inch piece)
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup water (240 milliliters)
- 2/3 cup white vinegar (160 milliliters)
- Juice of 1 lime
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Carefully prepare the fresh ingredients by chopping pineapple, habanero peppers, ginger, and onion into uniform pieces, ensuring to remove seeds and white membranes from habaneros to moderate the heat intensity.
- Combine the chopped produce in a saucepan with water, initiating a gentle simmer that allows the ingredients to soften and release their aromatic essences.
- Incorporate salt and sugar into the simmering mixture, stirring periodically to help vegetables and fruit break down and meld flavors, continuing until onions and peppers reach a tender consistency.
- Transfer the softened, fragrant mixture into a high-powered blender, introducing vinegar, fresh lime juice, marjoram, and ground cumin to enhance the sauce’s complex flavor profile.
- Pulse and blend the ingredients until achieving a completely smooth, vibrant liquid texture, taking moments to taste and fine-tune seasoning with additional salt or sugar as desired.
- Carefully decant the finished hot sauce into sterilized glass bottles or mason jars, allowing the condiment to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating to preserve its robust, tropical-spicy character.
Notes
- Remove habanero seeds to control heat level, perfect for those with sensitive taste buds.
- Simmer ingredients gently to develop deep, harmonious flavor without burning delicate components.
- Experiment with different vinegars like apple cider or white wine for unique flavor profiles.
- Refrigerate sauce for up to 2 weeks, allowing flavors to meld and intensify over time.
