Hot Pepper Sauce
Fiery hot sauces are legion in the Caribbean, and most contain habañeros (Jamaicans call them 'scotch bonnets' for their bell-like shape). A good way to use habañeros is by making up a pepper sauce.
Ingredients
- 16 whole habaneros (seeds and all)
- 1 oz onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tsp sugar
- 4 Tbsp white malt vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
Steps
- Blend all ingredients to whatever consistency you desire.
- Heat to boiling and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
- Spoon the cooked sauce into a preheated preserve jar and seal.
- Leave the jar in a cool, dark place for one month (at least) to develop a good flavour.
