Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce Recipe

Serious spicy food fans will love it as Scotch Bonnet peppers are incredibly hot. If you can’t find them, you can use habanero peppers instead. Just be careful when handling these peppers, as they can irritate the skin and eyes. Wear gloves when working with them, and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward. When cutting the habanero peppers, remove the seeds and ribs if you want a less spicy sauce. If you like things REALLY hot, leave all the seeds and ribs in.

If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead. Use apple cider vinegar in this recipe, but you can use white vinegar or another type of vinegar if you prefer. This Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce makes a fairly thick sauce. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add more water or lime juice until it reaches the desired consistency.
