I'm making a scotch bonnet sauce with garlic and onions.  I was wondering how long do you cook it before putting it into the blender?  I assume until the peppers are soft but was wondering about how long that takes.  Thanks

I cook in a stock pot over medium heat (a simmer, not a boil) covered with a lid for about 30-45 minutes until everything is nice & soft.  Then I blend everything up and go from there.
 
I boil for 10min then simmer on low for about another 45min covered. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool completely. Then it goes in the fridge until at least the next day. After that i blend the snot out of it and back in the fridge it goes for a few more days before making any flavor adjustments.
 
Crockpot on medium for 4ish hours works well too.
