Ingredients

1 fresh pineapple, cut in cubes, saving as much juice as possible

2 habaneros, stems and seeds removed

1 onion, chopped

3 tablespoons chopped ginger

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

2 cups pineapple juice, including that from the fresh pineapple

1 tablespoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons imported Indian or Sri Lankan curry powder

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup whit wine vinegar

1 tablespoon crushed red New Mexican chile

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, take care not to over-blend and aerate. You may have to do this in small batches. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil then simmer gently, uncovered for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce is fairly thick. Remove from the heat and allow to cool before bottling. Refrigerated, the sauce will keep for approximately 6 weeks.
