INGREDIENTS

  • 2-3 habanero peppers
  • 1/2 pineapple ripe
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 cup water
  • 2/3 cup white vinegar

DIRECTIONS

  1. Slice the pineapple, habanero, ginger, and onion. Remove the seeds and pith from the habaneros if desired for a milder spice.

  4. Add the simmered mixture into a blender along with the vinegar, lime juice, marjoram, and cumin.
  5. Blend until smooth and let cool.
  6. Season to taste by adding more salt and/or sugar.
