Basic

Ingredients

1 large jar blackberry preserves (32 oz)

1 small jar raspberry preserves (10.5 oz)

1 small jar apple butter (10.5 oz)

1 small basket raspberries (16 oz)

1 small basket blackberries (16 oz)

2 cups honey

9 jalapeños

9 serranos

9 habaneros

1 scorpion pepper

1 ghost chili

1 tablespoon fresh chopped garlic

2 teaspoons onion powder

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Method

Wash the pepper and throw them in a hot dutch oven on medium high

Cover and sear for about 10 minutes, stirring once or twice

Add in all berries stirring often to smash them up and turn the heat down to low

Stir in apple butter and preserves until a nice thick consistency it reached

Simmer until the peppers have softened a bit, 20 minutes

Add the garlic, vinegar and spices then let it simmer

Turn off heat, then transfer the sauce the mixer into a blender

Set blender to high and let it go, I use a Vitamix blender and pretty much let it go on soup mode

I add the honey in now while I do a little taste test to check the spice level

Add more berries and give it a light chop if you want some seeds in there and more fresh berry flavor

Variations

You can add brown sugar instead of honey if you want

You can add or remove hot peppers to change the spice level, you can also use cayenne pepper to heat it up if it isn't where you want it

Sometimes I add a stick of butter if I am going to use it as a baste

Sometimes I smoke the peppers and/or add a little liquid smoke
