In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced habanero peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and the onions become translucent.

Next, stir in the chopped fresh pineapple, apple cider vinegar, a bit of water for consistency, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey if desired, and a pinch of salt. Increase the heat slightly and bring to a gentle simmer for around 5 minutes.

Allow the sauce to simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to concentrate the flavors.

Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. Adjust with a bit of water if it's too thick.

For an extra smooth texture, strain the blended sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.

Let the sauce cool to room temperature before transferring it to a sterilized jar. Seal and store it in the refrigerator.
