Scotch bonnet, pineapple and mango hot sauce
Item 1 of 1
Scotch bonnets are revered for their heat, but once tempered with pineapple, mango, vinegar and spices, they can become the backbone of a fantastic chilli sauce – as this recipe proves. Take a look at all of Helen's hot sauce recipes here.

Scotch bonnet peppers have fierce heat but are also known for their tropical flavour notes, which pair well with sun-soaked fruits like mango and pineapple. This recipe uses griddled pineapple, which brings an extra, slightly smoky dimension to the sauce. This works particularly well with jerk chicken or Mexican food, such as tacos.
This recipe makes approximately 1.25 litres of sauce (5 x 250ml jars).
