Zesty Barbados Pepper Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Barbados Pepper Sauce.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients, and let’s dive into creating this zesty Barbados pepper sauce! Begin by placing the chopped red onion, red bell pepper, Scotch bonnet chiles, cubed papaya, and peeled garlic into a food processor. Pulse them together until they’re finely chopped, creating a colorful and aromatic mixture that will be the base of your sauce. Once done, scrape this vibrant blend into a large pot.

2. Step 2

   Next, it’s time to add some flavor! Stir in the dry mustard powder, white sugar, dry white wine, malt vinegar, water, and lemon juice. This combination will create a delightful balance of sweetness and tanginess, perfect for a spicy sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

3. Step 3

   As the sauce simmers, reduce the heat to medium-low and keep an eye on it. Stir frequently to prevent sticking, and let it cook until the mixture thickens, which should take about an hour. This is where the magic happens, as the ingredients transform into a rich and flavorful sauce.

4. Step 4

   Once your sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat. Now, for the finishing touch, stir in the prepared yellow mustard. This will add a creamy texture and a delightful mustardy kick that complements the heat from the Scotch bonnet chiles. Give it a good mix, and your zesty Barbados pepper sauce is ready to be enjoyed!
