Pineapple & Jalapeno Hot Sauce

Pineapple & Jalapeno Hot Sauce

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 1 sweet topless pineapple

  • 1 tbsp Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • 4 Coles jalapeno chillies, sliced 

  • ½ brown onion, roughly diced

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated

  • juice of 1 lime

  • 1 cup (250 ml) Squeaky Gate apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes

  • ½ bunch coriander (1 tightly packed cup), washed

*Sterilised jar to store.

Method

  • Peel the pineapple skins and cut out the core, reserving them to make another recipe like Tepache or pineapple cordial syrup. Cut the pineapple flesh into 2 inch chunks. You want about 2 cups for this recipe.

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the pineapple. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes, or until slightly charred and sweetened. Add in the Jalapenos, onion, garlic and ginger then continue to cook for a further 2 - 3 minutes, or until fragrant and softened.

  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before adding in the lime juice, vinegar and salt.

  • Place the pineapple mixture into a high-speed upright blender along with the coriander and blitz until smooth and green.

  • Pour the hot sauce into sterilised jars and serve with BBQ meats, tacos or seafood recipes. If you like a slightly thinner hot sauce, you can strain the pulp out through a sieve before pouring into sterilised jars.
