Instructions

PREP THE VEGGIES:

  • For an easier blend, you can roughly chop all veggies (especially the larger ones) if desired.

BLEND EVERYTHING TOGETHER:

  • Add all of the ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. NOTE: Add a bit of water if needed for a thinner consistency.
  • Add the scotch bonnet pepper sauce to your favorite mason jar (sterilized) or tightly sealed container and refrigerate for up to 3 months.
  • To use in recipes, you'll need as much as you can handle the heat which works perfectly on meats, seafood, soups, etc.
  • Bon Appetit!

Notes

FREEZE FOR LONGER: You can prepare in large batches and freeze them in ice cube trays, after they are frozen, remove the cubes from the trays and store in freezer bags.
