Pick 8-10 habanero peppers from the garden, slice them up, and remove the seeds.

Wear gloves and wash hands with soap and water after handling the peppers.

Add the sliced habanero peppers to a saucepan with apple cider and white vinegar.

Add mustard powder and salt to the saucepan.

Pour in pure maple syrup, ensuring it is real maple syrup and not imitation.

Turn the heat on high and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes until the peppers soften and the liquid reduces by half.

After 20 minutes, turn off the stove and allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a blender, adding a splash more apple cider to incorporate any remaining goodness from the saucepan.

Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the blender.

Blend the mixture until smooth.
