Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (226 g) carbonero peppers, chopped
- 2 peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup (237 ml) apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup (118 ml) water
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 g) jerk seasoning blend
- 1 tbsp (15 g) brown sugar
Instructions
- Sauté Base: Heat olive oil in a cooking vessel over medium flame, creating a shimmering foundation for flavor development.
- Aromatic Blend: Add chopped habanero peppers and onions to the heated oil, stirring to caramelize and release intense aromatics without burning.
- Peach Integration: Introduce ripe peaches into the mixture, allowing them to soften and intermingle with the spicy vegetable base, creating a vibrant foundation.
- Flavor Layering: Infuse the mixture with vinegar, water, jerk seasoning, and brown sugar, stirring to create a complex and harmonious flavor profile that balances heat, sweetness, and tanginess.
- Simmering Transformation: Reduce heat to low, allowing the sauce to gently simmer and meld flavors, concentrating the essence of each ingredient into a cohesive Caribbean-inspired condiment.
- Preservation Process: Cool the sauce completely, then carefully transfer the vibrant mixture into sterilized glass bottles, sealing in the explosive flavor and fiery character of the hot sauce.
Notes
- Pepper Precaution: Choose habanero or scotch bonnet peppers carefully, wearing gloves to protect skin from intense capsaicin oils during preparation.
- Ripeness Matters: Select perfectly ripe, slightly soft peaches for maximum natural sweetness and optimal sauce consistency.
- Flavor Balancing: Adjust jerk seasoning and brown sugar incrementally to control heat intensity and sweet-spicy harmony.
- Storage Strategy: Refrigerate hot sauce in sterilized glass bottles for up to 3 weeks, allowing flavors to continue developing and deepening.
