Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion, garlic, and habaneros in a splash of oil for 3–4 minutes until fragrant.
Add chopped pineapple, apple cider vinegar, water, lime juice, honey (if using), and salt.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 10–15 minutes until pineapple softens and the mixture reduces slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, adding water if needed to reach desired consistency.
Optional: Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
Once cooled, pour into a sterilized bottle or jar and refrigerate.

Notes

Remove habanero seeds or reduce to 3 peppers for milder heat.
Use canned pineapple if fresh isn’t available, but drain well.
Add brown sugar or more honey for extra sweetness.
Try adding a chipotle pepper for a smoky flavor twist.
Store in the fridge up to 1 month or freeze in portions for longer storage.
