Description
Caribbean Jerk Peach Hot Sauce combines ripe peaches, fiery Carbonero peppers, and smoky jerk seasoning for a bold Caribbean kick. Perfect for marinades, dipping, or drizzling, this sweet-spicy sauce comes together in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces Carbonero peppers, finely chopped (swap in Scotch Bonnets or Habanero peppers for comparable heat)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup water (adjust for desired consistency)
1 tablespoon jerk seasoning blend
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
Heat the Oil – In a medium pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering.
Cook the Peppers & Onion – Add the chopped peppers and onion. Stir and cook for about 6–7 minutes, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
Add the Peaches – Stir in the chopped peaches and cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their natural sweetness.
Add Liquids & Seasoning – Pour in the apple cider vinegar and water, then add the jerk seasoning blend and brown sugar. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Simmer the Sauce – Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Cool & Blend – Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before blending until smooth.
Adjust Consistency – Add more water if you prefer a thinner sauce, or strain it for an ultra-smooth finish.
Bottle & Store – Pour into sterilized bottles or jars. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Wear gloves when handling hot peppers.
Roast peppers and peaches beforehand for deeper flavor.
Sauce tastes even better after resting overnight.
