Scotch Bonnet Peppers

Add some spice to your cooking with the scotch bonnet! This fiery chile is a must-have in Caribbean, African, and Haitian dishes, especially for the infamous jerk seasoning. Keep this pepper handy and prepare for a heat that's ten times stronger than a serrano.

Proper Preparation: Begin by washing the Scotch Bonnet Peppers with warm water. For rehydration, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes. These peppers should be cooked for at least 10 minutes in any recipe. Alternatively, you can dice or puree them after soaking.
