Mango-Cinnamon-Habanero Hot Sauce

This is a recipe for a thick and delicious hot sauce. With habaneros as the main ingredient, this sauce is sure to please the chilihead in you.

Tip

Warning: Fumes produced by this recipe can be harsh on the eyes. I recommend wearing eye protection and working in a well ventilated area. If your kitchen doesn't have a window, try using a box fan to disperse the fumes.

Equipment

  1. A couple hot sauce jars OR a quart-sized mason jar
  2. 1 Large boiling pot
  3. 1 Cutting board
  4. 1 Chef's knife
  5. A food processor

Ingredients

  1. 5 Habanero peppers
  2. 1 Mango
  3. 1 White Onion
  4. 4 Garlic cloves
  5. 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  6. 1/4 cup Water
  7. 2 Tablespoons of Honey
  8. 1/4 Teaspoon Cumin
  9. 1/2 Teaspoon Crushed Black Pepper
  10. 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  11. 1 Teaspoon Salt

Directions

  1. Peel and chop the Mango
  2. Chop the onion & garlic
  3. Halve the habaneros
  4. Combine all ingredients into food processor
  5. Run food processor until the blend is smooth (or, allow for some chunkiness if desired -- this step is to taste!)
  6. Pour processed mix into a large pan and boil
  7. Reduce heat and simmer for about 12 minutes
  8. Remove pan from heat and let the sauce cool
  9. Pour sauce into jars

Goes well with meaty dishes since the sauce is on the thicker side (porkchops, chicken, that kind of thing). Keep sauce stored in the refrigerator to ensure longevity.
