Hey everyone.

Cubby and I have been experimenting for a while now on which hot sauce is hottest and which bbq is the best.

Was wondering your opinions. Please share.

hello pine

my mom makes her own hot sauce, which is customary where I am from. Very rarely do we purchase them from stores. Ours is extremely hot and made from Scotch Bonnet peppers. We grow our own peppers when the weather is accomodating.

Our bbq sauce is home made also.

That sounds awesome Lizzie!

Maybe you would be willing to share the recipe so I can give a try at it.

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

I'm not one for the hot stuff because of acid reflux

but for barbecue sauce, for a good bottled sauce is sweet baby rays

sweet baby rays has one called raspberry chipotle, it has a bit of an after bite but it is awesome

[Dora]

Oh yeah! Sweet Baby Rays rocks! That's my fav of the ones we've tried, so far.

Never saw the raspberry one. I'll keep an eye open for it.

Lizzie that's awesome! I want to try both those one day. Gotta find that type of peppers. So far no luck. Even looked for seeds so I could grow a plant or two. I'll keep looking. I Might have to try another type of pepper that would be more common way up here.

Thank you both!
