Recipe: Hot Pepper Sauce  (for 1 Liter)


If there is a typical hot pepper sauce of the eastern Caribbean, then this is it. Those who have been there before will be reminded of Trinidad, Barbados or even Grenada when tasting this sauce. To get a really authentic taste, you should buy fresh red habaneros for this recipe or grow them yourself (e.g. Caribbean Red). Thanks to Dave DeWitt for this recipe.
