FAQS about Scotch bonnet peppers
Carefully! You can prepare a Scotch bonnet pepper just like you would any other pepper, but you should take special precautions to make sure you don't accidentally spread its fiery hot capsaicin — what gives chile peppers their burn — to other surfaces.
You should wear gloves while you handle Scotch bonnets. Do not touch your face or any other body part until you have thoroughly washed your hands and anything else that came into contact with the pepper. Take special care to vigorously clean your gloves, knives, and cutting board when you are done so that the next time you cut your dinner vegetables, you don't get a spicy surprise. Hot soapy water should do the trick, but some experts say even this isn't enough.
You should keep your Scotch bonnet peppers in the fridge in a sealed bag. We suggest putting them in the vegetable drawer at 40-45 F. You don't have to wash your peppers before storing them. However, if you decide to wash them anyway, make sure they're completely dry, so you don't accelerate the rotting process. Peppers should maintain their freshness for two to three weeks, but you should still look for signs that they've gone bad such as dark or squishy parts.
If you want to make your Scotch bonnet peppers last even longer, you can use a brining method to preserve them with salt. Simply cut them in half and submerge them in water in a jar. Add a tablespoon of salt per cup, stir, seal, and stick them in the refrigerator. Peppers will also last for months in the freezer as long as you properly seal them.
