How To Make Traditional Caribbean Pepper Sauce: Grandma Louisa's Hot Sauce Recipe

Grandma Louisa’s hot sauce is pure fire. And I like to say, if you need protective gear to cook, then count me in. This Trinidadian pepper sauce contains 135 (!!!) Scotch bonnets, 4 types of peppers, exotic fruits like pickled mangos and gooseberries and some other weird little ingredients that I never saw coming. And to bring this special hot sauce from the Caribbean over to Brooklyn, New York, Grandma Louisa had to undergo a whole lot of hardships dealing with domestic violence and immigration. Watch this episode and get cultured.

I enjoyed the video and learning a bit about a different culture. I have a tip for the other viewers. Do the processing on the stove with the vent on to draw the fumes from the peppers away or do it outside. Another little tip is using your vinegar in the processor to get all the left over bits of pepper. I have a lot of peepers growing and would love to share a video when I harvest.

Came back to this recipe to make another batch. This method preserves so well and tastes great. I left most of the seeds in this time to retain the 'heat'. Such a fun video to watch especially the tasting thank you!

I like the little of her personal history which makes this video homely.

I am growing two Jamaican Scotch Bonnet and I cannot wait to get enough peppers to make a hot sauce. I love the flavor of these peppers, then followed by the heat.
