Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup mango purée
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 whole habanero pepper (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple juice, mango purée, honey, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Add ketchup, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Mix in the grated ginger, minced garlic, and habanero pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Season the mixture with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir thoroughly to incorporate the spices.
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lime juice for a fresh, tangy finish.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth for a consistent texture, if desired.
Let the sauce cool completely before storing it in an airtight container or bottle. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Use this hot and spicy tropical barbecue sauce as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce for grilled meats, seafood, or vegetables. Enjoy!
