Whether over barbecue, grilled chicken, or savory desserts, this easy raspberry habanero sauce recipe delivers a spicy tang that’ll wake up everyone’s tastebuds. Our favorites: try it over vanilla ice cream or (as pictured below) atop cheese and crackers. It’s basic, but both are oh so tasty.
This recipe is super simple to pull together, needing only three ingredients: a habanero, raspberry jam, and apple cider vinegar. Don’t be too concerned with the spiciness here. The habanero pepper is sautéed in the jam and cider vinegar mix, not processed into the sauce. So it’s spicy but not so intense as to be solely for extreme eaters.

Does this sauce store well in the refrigerator? I was buying this type of sauce for my husband its his favorite, its his replacement of ketchup. The addiction lol is getting pricey, so I want to try an make some at home.
Love it but did not get thick like I would have liked but still good
1/2 cup vinegar was way to much for the easy raspberry sauce. I cooked it longer than 15 minutes as I wanted as a marinade for chicken. Unless I did something wrong, I guess 1/4 cup?
