Instructions

  1. 1 Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 of the onion, habanero peppers, aji dulce, and garlic. Cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Transfer cooled pepper mixture to a blender. Add pineapple juice, lime juice, tequila, vinegar, cilantro, culantro, sugar, oregano, salt, black pepper, cacao powder, and cumin. Blend until sauce is smooth.
  3. 3 Pour sauce into a glass bottle with a lid; let stand for a least 1 week to allow flavors to blend.
