Grind 1/4 teaspoon of cumin and 1/4 teaspoon of herbs de Provence, and mix with 1 teaspoon of salt.

In a saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of neutral oil over medium heat.

Chop 4 habaneros, removing seeds if you prefer a milder sauce, and add to the pan.

Dice half of a sweet onion and add it to the pan with the habaneros.

Add 1 can of sliced peaches (drained) to the pan along with 2 minced cloves of garlic.

Add the ground cumin, herbs de Provence, and salt mixture to the pan and mix well.

Sweat the mixture over medium heat for about 2 to 5 minutes.

Pour in 1/2 cup (125 ml) of apple cider vinegar and 1/3 cup (83 ml) of water, bringing it to a light simmer.

Cover the pan and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the peaches break down and the peppers and onions are tender.

Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, adjusting consistency with more water or vinegar if needed.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or vinegar as preferred.

Pour the hot sauce into a glass container and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
