Coconut Habanero

Cursed recipe, please don't make this!

Fermented Ingredients (197 days):
• Habaneros 51g
• Garlic 31g
• Mango 80g
• Yellow Onions 175g
• Brine 1 Cup

Fresh Ingredients:
• Yellow Onions 275g
• Red Bell Peppers 135g
• Carrots 56g
• Habaneros 40g
• Mangoes 195g
• Pineapples 190g
• Salt 1 tsp
• Brown Sugar 1 tbsp
• Coconut Water 3/4 Cups
• White Vinegar 1.5 Cups
• Apple Cider Vinegar 1/4 Cups
• Xanthan Gum 1/8 tsp

Saute the onions, red bells, fresh habaneros, and carrots in olive oil until they start to take on some color. Add the garlic and cook until golden. Remove, next caramelize the pineapple and add everything to the blender except the xanthan gum. Blend on high for five minutes, simmer on low for twenty minutes. Reblend with the xanthan gum on low for sixty seconds. Bottle, refrigerate.

Notes:
• I've been putting this off because it's a rough sauce, but here we go I guess
• The idea was to make another tropical hab recipe with a mango and pineapple profile, highlighted by a coconut twist
• Flavor initially was almost inedible. It tasted atrifically sweet with a ton of acid from the vinegar. Pretty much no heat, just all sugar which was incredibly off putting
• A week and a half later the flavor has mellowed out a bit. Still very unbalanced, little heat to counter the sweetness
• Likely because this was a light habanero jar. I put in over 8 times as much fruit as I did peppers which was a big mistake
• A lot of that fruit matter materialized on the bottom of the pot it was boiled in. Over a pint of fruit sludge that ended up being thrown out
• I also used too much coconut water and the wrong kind. Mine had pulp and I used normal water ratios
• While it's not going to be a total drain pour like I initially thought, it definitely isn't getting sold or posted online. It might make a fun science experiment about the shelf life of a fruit heavy sauce
• I don't recommend anyone making this recipe. If you do, double the habaneros, halve the mango and pineapples. The coconut water can and probably should be omitted, but an 1/8 cup at most would probably give you notes without over powering anything. Maybe.

• This sauce sucks, but I'm happy to learn from mistakes
