Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2-4 habaneros, seeds removed from about half of the habaneros (the seeds are what add heat, adjust heat as desired)
- 3 garlic cloves, whole
- 3/4 c of apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 1 c maple syrup
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme (or rosemary)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Add habaneros, garlic cloves and apple cider (or white) vinegar to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth (about 30 seconds).
- Then we’re going to add this mixture into a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat and let it come to a simmer.
- We’ll then lower it to medium heat and add the fresh thyme (or rosemary) sprigs, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Once this comes back up to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and allow this to slowly simmer for about 10 minutes.
- The last step is to strain the sauce into a storage container and enjoy!
