Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a food processor. Process until smooth, or until you achieve the consistency you desire.
Use immediately. Store the leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Notes

Heat Level: Medium-Hot. You will get a good level of heat from Scotch Bonnets, which are very comparable to habanero peppers in both heat and flavor.
You can bring up the heat by incorporating more Scotch Bonnet peppers, or by using hotter peppers or chili flakes. Bring down the heat level by reducing the Scotch Bonnets, or by replacing them with milder peppers.
