Pineapple-Mango Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce - Recipe
Description
This hot sauce recipe combines ghost peppers, known for their intense heat, with chopped pineapple and mango to create a spicy yet sweet base. The ingredients are sautéed in olive oil to soften and release flavors before simmering with white vinegar, sugar, cilantro, and paprika. Simmering melds the fiery and fruity components while vinegar balances heat with acidity. After cooling, the mixture is processed to a smooth sauce that can be bottled and stored.
The result is a vibrant sauce that balances the ghost pepper’s heat with the sweetness of tropical fruit and nuanced herbal notes from cilantro. Paprika adds subtle smokiness and enhances color. This sauce works well as a spicy topper on grilled meats, tacos, or as a condiment to enliven dishes.
Due to the high heat from ghost peppers, this sauce is best used sparingly. The fruit helps moderate the intensity without diminishing the characteristic fiery kick.
