Steps:
- Cut the green tops off all the peppers. Discard tops and set peppers aside.
- Slightly smash each clove of garlic just enough that the paper loosens; remove the paper and discard it.
- In a medium, non-reactive (i.e. stainless steel, ceramic, or glass) pot, add the prepared peppers and garlic cloves. Pour in the vinegar and lime juice then add the salt, paprika, and bay leaf. Stir together to mix in the salt and paprika.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until the peppers are soft.
- Remove from the heat and add to a food processor or heat safe blender (no need to remove bay leaf). Pulse until smooth and liquidy (be CAREFUL--it is HOT), adding more vinegar if necessary to make it more liquid.

CARIBBEAN HOT PEPPER SAUCE RECIPE
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.

HOT PEPPER SAUCE
This hot sauce starts out mild but finishes with a slow, sweet burn. It's a great everyday condiment for eggs, meat, poultry, seafood and as an addition to sauces. While optional, the honey really rounds out the flavor and tames the burn. This sauce will keep for several weeks in a sealed jar in the refrigerator: just keep the top covered with a thin film of oil to prevent discoloration. The heat will increase slightly over time.

Steps:
- Combine the chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Scrape down the sides and add the olive oil. Blend until very smooth. Add the parsley and basil and blend until small specks of herbs are visible. Stir in the honey if using.
- Transfer to a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until thickened and darkened by a shade or two, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a glass jar with a lid. Top with a thin layer of olive and the lid. The sauce will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator, as long as it is covered with oil.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Different peppers have different levels of heat and flavor. For a mild sauce, use milder peppers like Anaheim or poblano peppers. For a hotter sauce, use hotter peppers like cayenne or habanero peppers.
- Roast or grill the peppers: Roasting or grilling the peppers will enhance their flavor and make them easier to peel.
- Remove the seeds: The seeds of the peppers are the hottest part. If you want a milder sauce, remove the seeds before blending.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will add flavor and depth to your sauce. Some good options include cilantro, cumin, garlic, and oregano.
- Experiment with different vinegars: Different vinegars will give your sauce different flavors. Some good options include white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and rice vinegar.
- Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce will allow the flavors to meld together and will also help to thicken the sauce.
- Store the sauce properly: Store the sauce in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks.
