Lottie's Island Flavours - Scotch Bonnet Peppers

Scotch Bonnet Peppers

SCOTCH BONNET PEPPERS, or Bonnie Peppers as they are called in Barbados, are the flavourful, key ingredient in Lottie's Barbadian hot pepper sauces. This pepper is said to have gotten its name from its shape which is similar to that of an old-fashioned Scottish bonnet.

The Scotch Bonnet is reputed to be one of the world's hottest peppers, measuring 100000-350000 Scoville units!

Like the Habanero pepper, the Bonnie pepper is a variety of the species Capsicum Chinense. The two peppers are close cousins and are often mistakenly thought to be the same pepper. Their shapes are slightly different and the Habanero when ripe is orange while the Bonnie Pepper when ripe is red. Also, the Habanero has a slightly fruity flavour while the Scotch Bonnet is hotter. The redder the pepper is when cooked, the prettier the sauce becomes.

Barbadians and other Caribbean islanders keep these Bonnies as a permanent staple in their kitchens.
