- Remove most of the seeds from the bell peppers. Place the bell peppers in a blender or food processor and pulse to a coarse pulp.
- Place the bell pepper pulp in a strainer and let all of the excess liquid drain (approximately 15 min.)
- Cook the bell pepper over low heat but do not boil. Approximately 15 min.
- Chop the tomatoes and add to the warm bell pepper pulp. Set a side to cool.
- Remove seeds from the scotch bonnet peppers and chop. (Mince two scotch bonnet chilies and reserve.)
- Rinse the pickled Habenaro peppers in cold water. Remove seeds from the Habenaro peppers and chop. (Mince two Habenaro chilies and reserve.)
- Place all of the remaining chopped ingredients in a food processor and pulse to a coarse pulp. Do not over process. It should still be very chucky when done.
- Mix the two pulps together and add the Tabasco, tomato paste, sea salt and black pepper.
- Cook until it just starts to boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Add the reserved finely chopped ingredients.
- Let sit at least over night, but 3 days is better.
