Tips:

Choose the right peppers: Scotch bonnet peppers are the traditional choice for Trinidadian hot pepper sauce, but you can also use habaneros or other hot peppers. Just be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use depending on how spicy you want the sauce to be.
Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers before making the sauce brings out their flavor and sweetness. You can roast the peppers in a hot oven, on a grill, or over an open flame.
Use fresh ingredients: The best hot pepper sauce is made with fresh ingredients. Use ripe, juicy tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers.
Simmer the sauce for a while: Simmering the sauce for a while allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the thicker and more flavorful it will be.
