How to Make Habanero Bbq Sauce

1. Finely chop 1 large red onion and 2-3 habanero peppers (wear gloves!).
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and peppers and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add 1 cup of ketchup, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat), and ½ cup water (or dark rum for a boozy twist!).
4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth (or transfer to a regular blender).
6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavor will deepen over time.
