Mint Habanero Sauce image

I had this as a side "jelly" at a restaurant, went home and played with the flavors until I arrived at this recipe. It is a real favorite with my friends and family! You can make it as hot as you like. Super with lamb and goat meat! Works well with a meat injector, too!

Time 25m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1 cup sugar or 1 cup equivalent sugar substitute
2 habanero peppers (or scotch bonnet)
3/4 cup fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • In a nonreactive saucepan cook vinegars and sugar over medium-high heat until sugar is completely melted and mixture is reduced by at least half and is thick. Finely chop peppers, removing seeds and membranes for a milder sauce, or chop them in to make a hotter sauce. Carefully transfer mixture to a blender and add the habaneros and mint. Blend until smooth. Let cool to room temp or serve warm with chicken, goat, lamb, or mutton.
  • Note: This mixture works well in a meat injector while still warm and has not set up, or leave less thick if using in this manner.
