Dried Scotch Bonnets Hmm what to do?

hot stuff · May 22, 2014

I have a number of Scotch Bonnets from last year that I dried instead of freezing or fermenting. Trying to think of something I can do with them. I don't want to rehydrate and make a jerk sauce. I'm not opposed to using them with making some other sauce. Another idea would be some sort of rub (again I'm not looking a variations of jerk). Any suggestions would be helpful.

Rub would be a good idea, plenty of recipes on the web find one and then just add some dried SB powder
Hot Sauce/fermented sauce...or even spicy BBQ sauce
Vinegar
Jelly
Cheese

Grind them up, then put the powder/flakes on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It is delicious.

Another one you could try if you turn them to powder is to take some salmon [or any other fish really], sprinkle the powder on it, and then swab some honey or agave nectar on it. Then bake or grill it.

That sounds like an excellent idea on grilled fish. I will give this a try next time I BBQ. I always keep a bottle of honey and agave in my pantry.

It is a delicious blend of sweet, hot, and savory. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks for the ideas. Westin, we're neighbors! I'm in the Beautiful Lake of the Ozarks.

Grind into powder. What's the question?

I buy Scotch Bonnet powder 10.oz at a time and use it like BP... An ingredient or topper for everything.

yeah if you ground them to flake earlier you'd probably be out by now!
