How to Make Caribbean Pepper Infused Oil

  1. Carefully chop the scotch bonnet peppers using rubber gloves or oil on your hands. If you are using other types of peppers make sure to use rubber gloves when handling those too.
  2. Combine the chopped peppers, olive oil, salt (if using), and peppercorns (if using) in a clean, airtight glass jar.
  3. Stir well to ensure the peppers are fully submerged in the oil.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place. Allow the oil to infuse for at least 3-4 days, or up to 2 weeks for a more intense flavor. Gently shake the jar once or twice daily.
  5. After the infusion period, strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined funnel into a clean, dry glass bottle. Discard the pepper solids.
  6. Store the infused oil in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Enjoy!
