Scotch Bonnet sauce ideas?

I'm starting to get some Scotch Bonnets off my plant now, and since I only have one small plant I don't have a lot of room to experiment.

Does anyone have a go-to caribbean style scotch bonnet sauce recipe I could try? I like the Barbados / Bajan style sauce you find at the southern end of the island chain. Mustard is a key ingredient down there.
 
Badger, I keep stumbling upon that same recipe. It's like she's making it for a whole village!

Anyways, I've been looking for bonnet recipes too. I want to try to recreate the "Busha Browne's Pukka Hot Pepper Sauce". But hotter!

And, Badger (Mr. Peanut) if your into Mr. Peanut memorabilia PM me so I can tell you about my grandmother inlaw!!!!

Nice! Another one that is a bit different is:

12 scorch bons
20 grams mustard
30 grams Pineapple
5 grams ginger
5 grams Garlic
30 grams treackle
Then 25% of tl in lime juice

we use a very similar sauce for white meats ...its larvely!
 
Yet another and one I like

Home Style Inner Beauty Hot Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
12 fresh habanero chiles — roughly chopped
1 ripe mango — peel, pit, mash
1 cup cheap yellow prepared mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar — packed
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared curry powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
salt and freshly cracked black pepper — to taste

This style of hot sauce, widely used in the West Indies, is basically habanero peppers (also known as Scotch Bonnets), fruit, and yellow mustard, with a few other ingredients thrown in. Use this recipe as a guideline. Habaneros are at the top of the chile pepper heat scale, so feel free to substitute other peppers of your choice. Funnel the sauce into an old pint liquor bottle.

A 1/4 lb grated horseradish? Really? Or is that a typo?

This is a good recipe - I've tried it myself. It calls for huge amounts, but it's easy to reduce the numbers. http://www.trinigourmet.com/index.php/berties-mega-hot-trinidad-pepper-sauce-recipe/

Yeah, this was great! Thanks for the link. I had some difficulty adjusting proportions downwards to where I could use 5 scotch bonnets I'd picked from my plant, but here's what I came up with:

Bertie's Small Batch

5 Yellow Scotch Bonnets
1/2 cup yellow onions chopped
2 tbs fresh ginger, chopped
1 tbs fresh garlic, chopped
1/4 cup white vinegar
3 tbs yellow mustard
1 tbs cooking oil
1/4 tsp kosher salt

Procedure-wise, I followed the recipe exactly.

I had it on chicken sausages and a hot dog in place of mustard and it was phenomenal. I made it for a weenie roast at my sister in law's and they loved the sauce so much I gave them the bottle.

This isn't really the recipe section but this one sure fits in here. This is an old recipe I got years ago and I love it. I really like the use of fruit with the pasta. This would work with almost any mustard based Habanero/ Scotch Bonnet sauce.

PASTA FROM HELL

3-4 Tablespoons Finely chopped Habanero (to taste, this amount will be HOT)
*Or 3/4 Cup Inner Beauty Hot Sauce or other mustard based Habanero sauce
2- Tablespoons olive oil
1- Yellow onion, diced small
1- Red Bell pepper, diced small
2- 2 Green (firm) Bananas, sliced
1- Small can Pineapple tidbets
Juice of 3 Oranges
Juice of 2 Limes
1/4 Cup or more chopped Cilantro
1- Tablespoon Butter
1/4 Cup or more grated Parmesan Cheese
1 pound Fettuccini

Mix juices and pineapple.Taste for sweetness vs tartness and adjust with brown sugar.
Saute Onion and Bell Pepper until tender.Add juices and pineapple.Add hot sauce and
simmer for 5 minutes.Add Cilantro, simmer 1 minute.Add sliced Bananas and simmer
for 1-2 minutes.Don’t over cook Bananas.Mix in cheese and top off the cooked Fettuccini.
Salt and black pepper to taste.

You can add Mango, papaya anthing you want to try.

Peace ,

I searched for a Bajan recipe and posted it, if it had too much horseradish, not my fault ;)

I did alter it a bit though, but the horseradish was there.

Sweet!

Where you getting your scorpions? Your own plants? Man, I wish I'd planted more interesting peppers this year.

They were from my own plant. I only got 5 scorpions off of it this year. Very disappointing grow season for me this year!

Grams in weight or volume? When it comes to metrics, most of us Americans are stupid.
