How To Make Traditional Caribbean Pepper Sauce: Grandma Louisa's Hot Sauce Recipe

  • Grandma Louisa’s hot sauce is pure fire. And I like to say, if you need protective gear to cook, then count me in. This Trinidadian pepper sauce contains 135 (!!!) Scotch bonnets, 4 types of peppers, exotic fruits like pickled mangos and gooseberries and some other weird little ingredients that I never saw coming. And to bring this special hot sauce from the Caribbean over to Brooklyn, New York, Grandma Louisa had to undergo a whole lot of hardships dealing with domestic violence and immigration. Watch this episode and get cultured.

    I enjoyed the video and learning a bit about a different culture. I have a tip for the other viewers. Do the processing on the stove with the vent on to draw the fumes from the peppers away or do it outside. Another little tip is using your vinegar in the processor to get all the left over bits of pepper. I have a lot of peepers growing and would love to share a video when I harvest.

      +Cooking with Granny being part Indian, peppers in my food is a must, so whenever I say hot, I mean hot as in flavor. Hot scorches the tongue while spicy is mostly felt in the throat, making it a little harder to breathe. Not sure if I'm explaining it right cuz my English is little rusty when I have to put it in words lol

      @VampTwinkie 8 лет назад +1

      Cooking with Granny Ive never had Wasabi before but i have heard about it. Perhaps Cayenne power? evern Parika power and black pepper i would toss in the SPICY category.
      I gotta say i really want to try this recipe you made but where I live its hard to come by even HALF those ingredients.

    • @CookingwithGranny
      @CookingwithGranny  8 лет назад

      +A Cleric name Femboi If you like spicy, you should definitely try wasabi! Where are you, by the way? India? Are there any sushi places by you? Can you get your hands on horseradish? That's the main ingredient in wasabi. As for Grandma Louisa's hot sauce, yes, it's hard to find all the ingredients here in New York City, too! We don't have the Scotch bonnets year-round and you have to know the right ethnic grocery stores that will carry things like pickled mango.

      I'm from the Caribbean and LOVED THIS VIDEO. That is such a common story, and Granny Louisa seems lovely! This looks almost like my granny's pepper sauce, except she used green pawpaw instead of chocho and used fresh green mango. she also fermented some of the ingredients a bit first and zested and juiced the limes separately. I remember some bits because I used to help. Unfortunately she has passed away, so I can't get the recipe. Did you happen to have quantities, even approximate anywhere?

    @angelalumwai6164 4 года назад

    Since when Trinidadians call Cristophine -cho cho? Are you a Jamaican now? There is no such thing as Carribean hot sauce, as everyone in Trinidad adds their own unique flavours . In the rest of the Caribbean they do it very different to Trinidadians.
    I do not put salt in anything as it is the cause of many health problems. I never put heat to my pepper sauce. I just grind everything.
    Thank you for showing us your recipe. It was enjoyable.
