Pineapple Habanero Hot Sauce Recipe - Pepper Geek

[@blasermann1994]

I added pineapple after 2 months of fermenting. It turned out amazing. That was my Christmas gifts for 2022. Everyone wants more.

[@PepperGeek]

That sounds fantastic!

[@zombiedixon6652]

My pineapples and peppers grow together down here in Florida!!!

[@donwyatt1516]

Thank you for posting. I really enjoy your channel This past weekend I binge watched so many of your videos and enjoyed them all. I will be making this in addition to a mango version very soon. .

[@Craig-ib7gk]

Same idea, but mine has the ratio of peppers and pineapple inverted. I make it in quarter fermenting jars, use a 4%-by-weight (including the water) brine, about 30 habaneros destemmed, split, flattened, and thoroughly pressed into the jar, and about 4oz of ripe pineapple. I also add a few smashed gloves of garlic. The ferment runs about 4 weeks before I drain off (but retain) most of the brine, obscenely blend the remains adding brine as/if needed to the proper thickness,, then simmer about 10 minutes at a gentle rate to kill the ferment. If needed, adjust below 3.4 pH via added vinegar to ensure it is shelf stable, then bottle while still hot. The identical recipe made with almost any hot pepper works, and it is absolutely amazing. I've done it with a half dozen different kinds of habaneros, jalapenos, scotch bonnets, etc. The pineapple adds a depth that is just fantastic, and I swear to God it will change your life. Try it. If I can do it, anyone can.

[@RadeLukic]

Fantastic recipe! Thanks Pepper Geeks! I now use this as a starting point and amp the habanero flavor/heat by using 20 peppers. I do seed the habaneros to eliminate their bitterness but leave as much of the pith as possible for the heat. Ginger is a favorite of mine so I go heavy. I def recommend fresh lime too for that extra edge to balance the sweetness of the pineapple. The last batch had a low pH of 3 so I've tried canning some too. Habaneros plants are loaded right now. Time to get a few more pineapples.

[@emmanuelaestradanoriega4177]

this recipes is also done in mexico for our tacos alpastor... those who recommended it may have been Mexican lol

[@mach2223]

I made this today, didn't have a fresh pineapple so I used a canned one, had to add more sugar, and put in a whole onion, but it tastes really good! I also added a bit of corn starch slurry because I like my sauces a little bit thicker but I can't wait to try it with some meat.

I made a trinidad scorpion pineapple mango hot sauce with last years harvest and gave it away as christmas presents. Nothing but compliments :D

[@PepperGeek]

Sounds delicious!😁

I did the same thing with red ghosts, and gave it away to friends and my second grader’s teachers, because we had freaking hundreds of red ghost peppers. They’re really prolific here. 😂

I'm growing a trinedad scorpion rn. Thank you for the idea :)

[@TheSP4RH4WK]

OMG.. My FAVORITE hot sauce to date is Cholula Sweet Habenero (it is pineapple based). I cant get enough of it.. now I can make it at home. Thanks for the vid!

[@lasaldude]

Cholula isn't my go to as i never really use it. nothing wrong with it though, I just grew up on Franks. Which I recently found out the McCormick owns both Franks and Cholula but I just bought a bottle of this off Amazon. didn't know it even existed. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@BigPeter1313]

Looks really good. What I do as an added bonus is lacto-ferment and then strain the hot sauce after blending. Squeeze as much of the the liquids as possible (with gloves on) and place the semi-dry fermented solids into a dehydrator to make a dry rub or shaker seasoning. It works awesome.

[@ericlongo7510]

I've added cilantro coriander :) tried both during the cooking process and also after, tastes better after imo, any thoughts if adding after will have a shorter shelf life, especially seeing I give most of these away to friends?

[@tested123]

that looks so good. i would use it but im not gonna make it. love fruity heat.

[@CharlesNelson303]

Can't wait for my habaneros to ripen. I do pineable habanero salsa all the time but this year I'm going to go for hot sauce. I'd suggest blooming your cumin by toasting it first, it takes on a much deeper flavor profile when you do.

[@DonPandemoniac]

Tasty combination! If you don't want to use sugar, honey is a great alternative.

[@PepperGeek]

Great idea!! I imagine maple syrup may be tasty as well.

[@DonPandemoniac]

@@PepperGeek Most likely! And also good with the pineapple; a bit of cinnamon.

[@bigoljoe1829]

Ive been doing a recipe similar to this one for many years. If you want it to REALLY pop, grill those pineapples next time. You will love it!

[@mizingn0.435]

I like putting my Chilis into the Smoker when going for pineapple as the fruit of choice - gives you a hot sauce that tastes exactly like Pizza Hawaii😁

I’ve been making this for about 5 years but I use 15 to 20 habaneros and an entire pineapple and salt and lime juice and that’s it, I like it hot, but I’d like to try the other ingredients especially the cumin to see how that tastes

[@PepperGeek]

Cumin is really great addition! It adds a bit more complexity. Have fun :)

[@christopherhawthorne5395]

I was thinking th Same thing - the hananero ratio to pineapple was a bit off. But I’ll give it a try both ways cause u never know!

You are so very lucky that you can make hot sauce,my English relatives do nothing but complain when it comes to things being spicy and refuse to eat anything with the slightest hint of being hot and the conversation does not end about all the complaints they will find.

[@scottmouse1921]

Add it to bloody marys!

[@keithgreen3527]

Super excited to try this thanks for the content. Will this thicken up?

[@PepperGeek]

If you want a thicker sauce, use a little bit less water when simmering the veggies. (Or, simmer a bit longer). You could also add the vinegar in batches until it gets to your desired consistency . We like it on the thinner side but everyone is different!

[@kaldriversson]

You can also add a small amount of xanthan gum when you blend it all up.... changes the consistency considerably with as little as 1/8 of a tsp, and it also works wonders to keep the sauce from separating in the fridge.

[@keithgreen3527]

Awesome thank you.

[@sparkyh62]

Need a shelf stable one

[@AgentTweety]

Can you use any hot pepper?

[@PepperGeek]

Technically, but the habanero flavor definitely plays well with the fruity pineapple

[@larrysowada9905]

How high is the heat level, does it have a good burn, could i use 3 peppers for more of a burn

[@PepperGeek]

It is a pretty good burn with 3 habaneros like we used, especially leaving the innards. You can scale up to 4-5+ if you want it extra hot!

[@larrysowada9905]

@@PepperGeek thanks i might take it up to 4 but if the burn isn't enough then 5

[@rob-oe4wr]

Do you think this would work with tinned pineapple, or is it better use fresh ones.

[@WagwanHappyPappyHapPap]

Fresh is always better but yes canned will work just the same but with higher acidity, lower ph

[@ballincobalt4184]

Would this be a mild heat level?

[@PepperGeek]

It really comes down to the peppers you’re using. We find this hot sauce to be pretty spicy. You can remove the pith/seeds for a more mild heat level as well.

[@whome8391]

Ah, the symphony of breaking glass!

[@BigPeter1313]

Smoking prior to fermenting adds a whole other level of flavor that will make the difference between a good hot sauce and a competition hot sauce. It also begins to break down the plant cell walls which are solid, unlike animal cells, which are permeable, which is why it takes so much longer to break down interstitial tissues. But pineapple breaks meat down rapidly. 6th grade science, just applied to professional aspects.

[@jimingebrigtsen4389]

is it table salt or kosher salt?

[@joshhiggins7053]

Use kosher in all hot sauce recipes

hmmm, can I make a suggestion? perhaps take everything except the lime the habanero peppers and the pineapple and make it into a chili oil you can cut back on the chili or perhaps go for something with more flavor than heat I've been on a chili oil bender lately I've been adding it to everything I try cooking to see how it comes out I can honestly see chili oil being very good when making a sauce for wings I've yet to try it myself but soon I hope. either way I bet this sauce is pretty good!

No sugar is needed to balance. If it's to acidic you need to add a different pepper of your choice to the Habanero for the wright balance with a few table spoons of grapefruit juice. I personally not a fan of such salsa mixed with citrus, but it's go good with the foods you mentioned.
