Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs 2–3 habanero peppers
  • 2 lbs ripe peaches seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 small carrot rough chopped
  • 3/4 tablespoon mustard powder
  • 2 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar adjust to desired consistency
  • 1 tablespoon Juice lemon freshly squeezed, to finish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Wash the habanero peppers and remove the stems. Wash and halve the peaches, then remove their seeds.
  3. Arrange the peppers and peaches, cut side up, on a baking tray and roast for 1 hour. Be sure to vent your kitchen well, as roasting hot peppers can be intense. (If smoking instead, cook at 250°F (120°C) for 2–3 hours.)
  4. Once cooled, transfer the roasted peppers and peaches to a blender, along with the sea salt, garlic, ginger, maple syrup, carrot, mustard powder, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until smooth, working in batches if necessary.
  5. Taste the sauce and adjust salt to your preference. Stir in the fresh lemon juice to finish.
  6. Pour into sterilized glass jars and store in a cool, dark place or refrigerate. The sauce will keep for 6–10 months in the fridge.
  7. (You can cook the blended sauce before bottling, but it doesn’t significantly affect shelf life or flavor.)

Notes

Frequently Asked Questions

How hot is Peach Habanero Sauce?

It’s quite hot—habaneros are among the spicier chili peppers. The sweetness of peaches and maple syrup helps balance the heat, but it’s still fiery. Start with small amounts until you know your comfort level.

Can I make Peach Habanero Sauce without fresh peaches?

Yes. Frozen peaches (thawed and drained) work well outside of peach season. Avoid canned peaches in syrup as they can make the sauce overly sweet.

How long does homemade Peach Habanero Sauce last?

When stored in clean glass jars and refrigerated, it lasts 6–10 months. The vinegar and salt act as natural preservatives.

Can I use this sauce for more than chicken wings?

Absolutely. It’s fantastic on grilled shrimp, pork chops, roasted vegetables, and even as a glaze for baked salmon.

What’s the difference between this and traditional Caribbean peppersauce?

Traditional peppersauce tends to use more vinegar and fewer sweet ingredients. This version is a fusion-style Caribbean hot sauce, blending classic island heat with North American sweetness for balance.
