Servings:
3 cups
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound yellow onions, roughly chopped
  • 6 ounces (¾ cup) guava paste
  • 1¼ cups water
  • ⅓ cup Sriracha
  • 5 tablespoons dark rum
  • 2½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 5 teaspoons light brown sugar
  • 2½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ⅛ teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 star anise
  • ½ habanero pepper, stemmed and seeded
  • Kosher salt, to taste
Directions
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and light brown around the edges, 8 minutes.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients, except the habanero and salt, then bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender with the habanero. Purée until smooth, then season with salt. Allow to cool completely before using, then store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
