How to Make Chicken Wings Or Ribs Habanero Hot Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion and 2 cloves garlic, minced, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 4-10 habanero peppers (adjust to your spice preference), finely chopped, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup apricot brandy. Sauté for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup corn syrup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and salt to taste. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. Add 1 cup of your favorite chopped fruit (such as peaches, mangoes, or pineapple). Cover and cook slowly for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add 2-4 tablespoons of water or more apricot brandy if the sauce is too thick.
  7. Let the sauce cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This sauce will keep for several months.
