Orange-Soy-Ancho-Habanero Cocktail Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup crushed pineapple
    1/2 cup orange preserves
    1/4 cup red onion, chopped
    3 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 garlic clove
    1/2 habanero pepper, cleaned and minced
    1 tablespoon ancho chili pepper, cleaned and minced
    1/2 cup orange juice
    1 teaspoon honey
    2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
    salt, to taste
    pepper, to taste
Preparation
    Place all ingredients except cilantro into a sauce pot. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer. Cook on a low simmer for about 10 minutes.
    Remove from heat, and sit until cool enough to puree with a blender or a hand-held blender. Puree to your desired consistency.
    Stir in cilantro. Serve cold with shrimp or any other seafood cocktail or a chicken dish.
    The two different peppers give a variety of heat styles -- a little in the front and some in the back. Feel free to add more or less than the recipe calls for. This one was about a 2.5 out of 5 on my heat scale.
