I love jerk sauce and the Scotch Bonnet peppers are awesome! I grew a yellow. About 4 variations of the yellow exist. The one I have was rather mild. Maybe good for salsa, but not jerk. So I was really bummed about that. I bought Chocolate Scotch Bonnet seeds and they are hotter than habaneros.
So next year I expect a better sauce. I also have seeds for a red Scotch Bonnet, but I know the chocolate is hot. I may grow both next year.
The sauces from Jamaica are so good, I doubt I can ever achieve that level.
For a non hot pepper the Trinidad Perfume is a great seasoning pepper. It has the habanero flavor without the heat. Very aromatic, named correctly. Great stuffed with onions, chives and sour cream.
