What Do You Need To Make Peach Habanero Hot Sauce

Ingredients

Peaches

The star of the show.

The sweetness pairs perfectly with the habaneros.

Be sure to look for ripe peaches – the riper the better. They should be soft to the touch.

You can also use fresh apricots, nectarines, or plums; just adjust the amount for the size differences.

Habanero Pepper

Adds a delicious fruity heat that goes great with the juicy peaches.

Cut the number in half, or use only one for more peach flavor and less heat.

Sweet Onion

For a touch of savory and sweet. I like Vidalia or Walla Walla Sweets for this recipe.

For a more intense onion flavor, substitute a red or white onion.

Garlic

Deepens the taste and adds the perfect hint of bitterness.

Fresh Lemon Juice

Helps preserve the color and adds a citrus zing that brightens up your hot sauce.

If you prefer, you can use limes instead of lemons.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Adds a tang that balances the heat and sweetness.

Brown Sugar and Honey

Intensify the sweetness of the peaches. Brown sugar gives your sauce more depth, while honey is sweeter and gives your hot sauce a nice sheen.

Feel free to use more if you prefer a sweeter taste.

Fresh Ginger

Ads exotic notes and a warm, peppery taste that complements the peaches and habaneros.

Salt

Unlocks the other flavors. I prefer kosher for its consistent taste.

However, if you prefer, you can use a different salt, but reduce the amount and taste it to avoid over-seasoning your hot sauce.

Equipment

  • Cutting board and knife
  • Medium to large saucepan
  • Spoon or spatula

Other Things To Consider When Making Peach Habanero Hot Sauce

You Can Customize Your Peach Habanero Hot Sauce

The great thing about making hot sauces at home is that you control the heat. Cut the number of peppers in half for a milder sauce, or just use one.

Think spicy peach sauce rather than hot habanero sauce.

You can also add a ½ teaspoon of liquid smoke for an intense smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet peaches and fiery peppers.

Try different peppers instead of the habaneros to change the heat profile – jalapenos, serranos, or chipotles are all excellent options.

Important Tips for Making the Perfect Peach Habanero Hot Sauce Recipe!

  • Habaneros are hot. I mean really hot. So be careful when handling them. I recommend using gloves and avoid touching your eyes or nose. Even a little will burn like crazy.
  • An immersion blender is handy for this recipe to save on cleanup.
  • For the best flavor, look for super-ripe peaches. The riper, the better.

Make More Than You Need!

With so much summertime flavor, you’ll want to ensure you have enough to last through winter.

And since it tastes better the longer it sits…

Go ahead and double the recipe.

Extra hot sauce will stay fresh in the fridge for up to a month. Or up to six months in the freezer.

Nothing tastes better on a cold winter’s day than a pleasant reminder of summer.
