Ingredients:

  • 6-8 Scotch bonnet peppers, stemmed and roughly chopped
  • 1 small white onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped Scotch bonnet peppers, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and the peppers smell pungent and fragrant.
  2. Pour in the white vinegar, fresh lime juice, salt, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the peppers are soft and the liquid has reduced slightly.
  3. Carefully pour the hot mixture into a blender or food processor. Blend on high for 60 seconds until the sauce is completely smooth. For a thinner consistency, pour the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into storage jars.
