Scotch Bonnet
Fiercely hot and distinctly fruity — the chilli behind jerk chicken and Caribbean pepper sauce. Needs warmth to ripen in the UK (a greenhouse or sunny windowsill), but if you get it right, a single plant produces enough to heat-proof your cooking for months.
in the kitchen
Caribbean pepper sauce
Blitz ripe scotch bonnets with mango, garlic, mustard, vinegar, and a pinch of allspice. Fruity, fiery, and a few drops transform rice and peas, grilled chicken, or a morning egg. Wear gloves.
