Step-by-Step Instructions for Pineapple Habanero Hot Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced habaneros, sautéing for 3–4 minutes until the onions turn translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the roughly chopped pineapple, white vinegar, a splash of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Reduce the heat slightly and cook the mixture uncovered for 10–15 minutes until the pineapple softens and the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool. Transfer everything into a blender and blend until smooth.
- If desired, strain the blended sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl for a silky texture.
- Allow the hot sauce to cool completely before transferring it to a sterilized bottle or jar.

Notes
Handle habaneros safely and wear gloves while chopping to prevent irritation. Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to a month.
