hot-sauce Walkerswood Hot Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Sauce

fatalliman · Apr 30, 2005

This sauce was given to me, looks like Walkerswood is a Jamaican based co.
First I'd like to say I never have eaten a fresh scotch bonnet but am growing them this year, so I'll refer to it as a hab.
The smell is deffently a clean hab aroma, it looks like the whole pepper is used here seeds and all.
A spoonful was like tasting the chinense with spices that I call the staples, onion and garlic. It has a burn that keeps coming making the sweat break and then a lasting afterburn.
A very good hab flavor.
Says on the bottle to use sparingly with soups, stews and rice dishes and I think it would taste good with those uses.
I think I will try incorperating it into a mop sauce for grilled chicken because of the clean hab taste.
On the heat scale I would say a 7 or 8.
Might have to hit Kato up for a caribbean recipe for this one.

Walkerswood is a staple in our house. We love this stuff.

The best way to use that is to rub it all over poultry or pork and then leave it soak in overnight.

Yummy.

Yep, two thumbs up from me too.
Stuff should come in a jug.

I agree!

I watched someone do a turkey on the Food network about two weeks ago, and have been dying to do one ever since, but turkey has a bad habit of being really dear or really big, and one of my kids is on hiatus so on most days for the next month, we're only three... not suitable size household for a turkey. lol

I buy it at a local Jamaican-owned grocery store.

Any online Hot sauce retailer (major) should carry this sauce. Walkerswood makes several sauces, all of them good. It is Jamaican. Figueroa's sells them, as does the Pepper Palace. Cape Fear Pepper Co. probably does.

love dem Caribbean sauces, mon. 8)

You're welcome.

I'll let you know how the turkey turns out... although it may have to wait until Thanksgiving.

walkerswood paste is my favorite store-bought jerk seasoning.

i first heard of it eating grilled shrimp at a restaurant - Hops, i think - i begged them to tell me how they make their walkerswood jerk sauce, the bartender said 'oh it's this walkerswood stuff they buy at a store, made in jamaica'

i've been hooked ever since and keep some on hand at all times for grilling seafood, pork or chicken. i have to be careful though because i have an 8 year old and have to try to keep it off of parts/pieces of whatever i'm grilling

luckily, i can buy it at all my local large grocery stores.

Try this guys...

Rub pork chops with it, cover in Cream of Mushroom soup and then bake until done.

Yummy nummy.

That's what we had for dinner last night. Hmmm, leftovers and I haven't had lunch.

S'cuse me... Jerk calls.
