Mango Pineapple Habanero Hot Sauce Recipe

The mango and pineapple in this tropical habanero hot sauce add a great fruity flavor that complements the habanero peppers very well. It’s great as a flavoring to any of your favorite dishes that need a spice pick-me-up.

Note: Be very careful handling habanero peppers as the capsaicin can burn your eyes or other sensitive areas. We highly recommend you wear gloves.

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder

Puree the habanero peppers with the mango and pineapple and combine with the rest of the ingredients in a pot. Simmer slowly for around 30 minutes or until it is almost the thickness you want, remember, when the sauce cools it will thicken up even more.
