Provided by Cynthia Nelson

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces     Condiment     Sauce

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb Scotch Bonnet peppers (washed and stems removed)
1 Tbsp salt
White distilled vinegar to taste (or vegetable oil)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Put the peppers and salt in a food processor and pulse until the peppers are minced finely. Scrape down the sides of the bowl from time to time.
  • Once the peppers are chopped pretty finely, let the processor keep whirling and pour just enough of the vinegar through the chute to moisten the peppers and give it the consistency of a thick sauce.
  • Pour the hot sauce into sterilized glass bottles or jars and cover with airtight lids. Store the finished product in a cool place or in your refrigerator until the flavors meld together nicely. Or you can place your bottles of pepper sauce in the sun for two to three days to ripen quickly and then store in a cool place. If there's no sun where you are, let the pepper sauce cure for at least five days before use so that the flavors can develop.

JAMAICAN CALYPSO CHICKEN



Jamaican Calypso Chicken image

I clipped this from a magazine many years ago. It has the added kick of curry powder. The addition of fruit is good with the chicken (especially served over rice). Easy to put together, but takes time to marinade. This time (3-6hrs) is not reflected in prep time.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
1/2 cup rum
3 tablespoons lime juice (fresh is best)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 -3 teaspoons curry powder (your preference)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 chicken breast halves, bone-in (roughly 2 lbs)
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

Steps:

  • Drain the juice from the pineapple chunks into a zip-lock bag big enough to hold the chicken. Reserve the pineapple to add later. To the juice add rum, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, garlic, ginger, cloves and red pepper flakes. Stir or mush up the bag to blend.
  • Add the chicken, turning to coat well. Place in refrigerator skin side down to marinade for 3-6 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375*. Saving the marinade, remove the chicken and place skin side up in a shallow baking dish.
  • Bake, uncovered, basting often with the pan juices and leftover marinade for 30-35 minutes.
  • Add the reserved pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges to the pan and bake 5-10 minutes more - until the chicken is no longer pink near the bone.
  • Serve the chicken with pan juices basted over, along with the fruit. I like to serve this over rice (especially coconut rice). You can garnish with sliced lime for presentation.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of peppers. This will give your hot sauce a complex and flavorful heat. Some good options include habaneros, scotch bonnets, and cayenne peppers.
  • Roast your peppers before using them. This will help to mellow out their heat and give them a smoky flavor.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your hot sauce the best flavor.
  • Experiment with different flavors. You can add fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices to your hot sauce to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Let your hot sauce age for a few weeks before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

With these recipes, you can easily make your own delicious Caribbean Calypso Hot Sauce at home. Experiment with different peppers and flavors to create a hot sauce that is perfect for your taste. Your homemade hot sauce will be a great addition to any meal, and it also makes a great gift.
