Genuine-ly hot, hot sauce

Genuine

Our first recipe from fellow blogger, Chef Genuine, is for Caribbean Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce. If you like it hot, this promises to do the trick.

I hope to feature some of Chef Genuine’s crock pot recipes in the near future if he ever emails me the recipes. (hint, hint)

Things seem to be a little slow and bland here in the blogosphere. Traffic is light, and everyone is begging for the holiday weekend, me included. I think maybe I’ll spice things up a bit!

Caribbean Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce
(yields 3 to 4 cups)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 onions, diced
2 ripe mangoes or pawpaws (papayas), skinned, seeded, and diced to 1/2 inch
6 carrots, diced
2 cho-cho squashes, peeled and diced
12 pimento (allspice) berries
10 whole black peppercorns
4 thyme sprigs
1 ounce ginger root, finely diced
1/2 cup sugar
8 to 12 Scotch bonnets
1/4 cup cane or cider vinegar

In a nonreactive pot, heat the oil. Saute the onions until they are translucent but not brown. Add the mangoes or pawpaws, carrots, cho-cho, pimento berries, peppercorns, thyme, and ginger.

Saute 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 it in a tightly closed bottle in the refrigerator.

Whatever you do, please do not expose any skin to the pepper juice. This means that you should not inadvertantly go to the potty and handle your package!!! Well, for the guys anyway!!!

When spilling this juice, make sure to wipe it up immediately, I think it could start a fire.
