Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 2 whole (use less for milder heat) Ghost chili peppers
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
1. Begin by wearing gloves to handle the ghost chili peppers as they are extremely spicy and can irritate the skin.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the garlic cloves for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the diced pineapple and stir for 3-5 minutes until the pineapple softens slightly.
4. Slice the ghost chili peppers in half and remove the seeds if you want to reduce the heat (optional). Add the peppers to the saucepan and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Pour in the white vinegar, honey, lime juice, salt, and water into the saucepan. Stir to combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly before transferring it to a blender.
8. Blend the mixture on high until it reaches a smooth and pourable consistency. Taste and adjust for seasoning, adding more salt or honey if needed.
9. Carefully pour the sauce into sterilized glass jars or bottles. Let it cool completely before sealing and storing in the refrigerator.
10. Use the sauce within 2-4 weeks and enjoy the balance of sweet and spicy flavors on your favorite dishes!
