SCOTCH BONNET HOT SAUCE
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 Onions diced
  • 2 Ripe mangoes or pawpaws (papaya), skinned, seeded, and diced to 1 inch cubes
  • 6 carrots diced
  • 2 Cho Cho squashes (Chayote-Choko) peeled and diced
  • 12 Pimento (allspice) berries
  • 10 whole black peppercorns
  • 4 Thyme sprigs
  • 1 oz ginger root, finely diced
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 8 to 12 Scotch Bonnet Peppers
  • 1 cup cane or cider vinegar
    1. In a non reactive pot, heat the oil. Saut the onions until they are translucent but not brown. Add the mangoes or pawpaws, carrots, cho-cho, pimento berries, peppercorns, thyme, and ginger. Saut the mixture 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the sugar and Scotch Bonnet Peppers. When the sugar has become syrupy, add the vinegar, and cook until the carrots are soft, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Puree the mixture in a blender, and strain it. Store in a tightly closed bottle in the refrigerator.
