Blueberry Habanero Hot Sauce Recipe

Recipe Overview:

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Course: Condiment
Cuisine: Fusion
Yield: Approximately 2 cups
Calories Per Serving: Approximately 30 calories per 2-tablespoon serving

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh blueberries
2 habanero peppers, seeds removed and chopped
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare The Ingredients:

First things first, let’s get our ingredients ready:

Rinse the blueberries and make sure they’re stem-free.
Be cautious with the habanero peppers – remove the seeds and chop them up, wearing gloves to protect your skin.
Grate the ginger and chop the garlic cloves.

2. Cook The Sauce:

Now, let’s get cooking:

Toss all your prepped ingredients into a saucepan – the blueberries, habanero peppers, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and salt.
Heat it up over medium heat until it starts to simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once it’s bubbling away nicely, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until it thickens up a bit.

3. Blend The Sauce:

Time to blend it all together:

Before adding the mixture to a blender or food processor, let it cool down a little.
Blitz it until it’s smooth. If it’s too thick, just add a splash of water until you reach your desired consistency.

4. Strain (Optional):

If you prefer a smoother sauce:

Pass it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp. But if you like it chunky, feel free to skip this step!

5. Store:

Once it’s cooled completely, pop it into a clean jar or bottle with a good lid and stash it in the fridge. It’ll keep for around 2 weeks – if it lasts that long!

Serving Suggestions

Here are a few tasty ideas to get you started:

Dip your chicken wings or veggie sticks into it for a flavor explosion.
Drizzle it over grilled meats or seafood to take them to the next level.
Add a dollop to marinades or dressings for a sweet and spicy twist.

Flavor Variation

You are welcome to modify the recipe to your own tastes. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or increase the heat by including more habanero peppers.

Health Benefits

Not only is this hot sauce bursting with flavor but it’s also packed with health benefits.

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, while habanero peppers contain capsaicin, known for its metabolism-boosting properties.

And there you have it – our delicious Blueberry Habanero Hot Sauce! I hope you have as much fun making and devouring it as I did.
