Ordered a KG of Scotch Bonnet chillies with the aim of making a fermented hot sauce in a week or two!
– Scotch Bonnets can generally go up to 350,000 SHU, so they're spicier folks than a lot of chillies. Despite the name, there are no notes of whisky when you try them. They're more on the fruity side
– A few garlic cloves decided to join in the ferment to infuse some extra pungency. The ferment you're looking at currently has about 1 lb of Scotch Bonnets currently. I need to make a second batch this week with the rest of the chillies
– It's been in the brine for about 12 hours. I sampled it earlier and it's already incredibly intense and fruity
– When it's properly fermented, I'll probably whack in a mango to enhance the fruitiness

Did you weigh them when you get them? That isn’t a kilo of bonnets.
