1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tsp salt

Instructions:

Blend the Peppers:
- In a blender or food processor, combine 6 Scotch bonnet peppers (remove seeds for less heat if desired), 2 cloves of garlic, 1/4 cup of white vinegar, and 1 tsp of salt.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Simmer the Sauce:
- Transfer the blended mixture to a small saucepan.
- Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve:

- Transfer to a sterilized bottle or jar for storage.
- Use sparingly as a hot sauce for meats, rice, or seafood.

Tips for Success:

Handle Scotch bonnet peppers with care. Use gloves to avoid skin irritation, and wash hands thoroughly after handling.
For a tangier flavor, increase the amount of vinegar slightly.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
