ok here is a quick lesson in making Caribbean hot sauce, otherwise known as Pepper Sauce... u gotta say Pepper Sauce cuz if u come here and say Hot Sauce ull get a lamo one outta a bottle from the grocery store
those arent nearly half as good as the Pepper Sauces.
Simple... u blend the scotch bonnet peppers (cut em up first) with enough vinegar to the consistency you like. Add salt. Thats your base. I know people add mustard and garlic and various seasonings, but at in my house we dont. But you can if you want. My mom also does one where she kinda pickles the hot peppers in vinegar, along with slice carrots and lime wedges. Now thats yummo! Make ya cry like a 5 yr old too.
As for the barbeque sauce,
I use ketchup, soy sauce, black pepper, salt, sugar, garlic, onion, hot pepper, shadon beni (otherwise known as culantro which we cant live without in the caribbean). We grind the shadon beni, the garlic, the onion and hot pepper, then add the rest of stuff. I add water to get it to the right consistency, and a little lime juice if i feel like it. Gives it a nice tangy taste. I keep it thick to baste while bbquing, and some thinned down to pour over the grilled food. I dont cook it either, tho i guess one could if they wanted. Its good, the shadon beni/ culantro coupled with the lime juice really sets it apart. If ur into that kinda taste
