Notes
NOTES
This recipe makes about 2 cups to 2 ½ cups, and the sauce can absolutely be used raw!
Organic scotch bonnet peppers are much hotter and larger, so if you’re not using organic then you can up this to like 6 or 7. The sauce is very spicy, so use less scotch bonnet peppers for a mild sauce.
Pimento is the same thing as allspice.
I started this at a medium high heat level. Adjust accordingly for your taste buds. If you’re not so sure, start with just one, and work your way up!
The jerk sauce will last in the fridge for about 1-3 months! If you want it to last longer you can definitely freeze it. As always do a smell and sight taste to ensure your sauce is still fresh after the first month.
