Description

Spicy Caribbean jerk peach hot sauce blends fiery peppers with sweet peach notes. Jamaican-inspired condiment brings bold flavors that elevate grilled meats, tacos, and roasted vegetables.


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

  1. Sauté Base: Heat olive oil in a cooking vessel over medium flame, creating a shimmering foundation for flavor development.
  2. Aromatic Blend: Add chopped habanero peppers and onions to the heated oil, stirring to caramelize and release intense aromatics without burning.
  3. Peach Integration: Introduce ripe peaches into the mixture, allowing them to soften and intermingle with the spicy vegetable base, creating a vibrant foundation.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
