Condiment
Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce
A tier
Scotch bonnet hot sauce is Caribbean perfume-fire: tropical fruit and a serious burn, often with vinegar, onion, and thyme. It is not cayenne's clean hit; it lingers and smells of the islands. A little on jerk or fried fish. Cayenne vinegar will not give the fruit. Handle like a grown chilli.
