Ingredients

• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1 cup mango purée
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 whole habanero pepper (finely minced)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple juice, mango purée, honey, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2

Add ketchup, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Mix in the grated ginger, minced garlic, and habanero pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 4

Season the mixture with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir thoroughly to incorporate the spices.

Step 5

Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lime juice for a fresh, tangy finish.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth for a consistent texture, if desired.

Step 8

Let the sauce cool completely before storing it in an airtight container or bottle. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Step 9

Use this hot and spicy tropical barbecue sauce as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce for grilled meats, seafood, or vegetables. Enjoy!
