MORE DETAILS
The Scotch bonnet's history has been traced to Central and South America; however, there is no concrete proof as to where the chile pepper was first cultivated. Although frequently confused with the habanero, the Scotch bonnet or Jamaican Hot is definitely not the same as its stout cousin. So how do you know a Scotch bonnet pepper? 
The mature pepper measures between 1 1/2 and 2 inches in diameter. The color of the immature pepper is green, but the mature Scotch bonnet has an attractive range of colors: bright yellow, orange or red. One of the defining features of this type of pepper is its sweet aroma and unique flavor. In fact, the Scotch bonnet was the first Caribbean hot pepper to be known by a specific name in the export market.

Peppers were commonly used, in the period before refrigeration became commonplace, as an effective preservative for meats. It is this need to preserve the meat of wild Boar that started the preparation of “Jerk Pork” at Boston Bay in Portland, Jamaica. This was a localized dish for decades, and eventually spread across Jamaica in the 1970s and 1980s. Jerk Chicken and Jerk Fish, are relatively recent developments and came with the spread of the ‘Jerk’ phenomena across Jamaica. Now “Jerk” is known all around the world.

Real Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper turns yellow when ripe. When the pepper is turned upside down the shape, resembling the bonnet or headdress worn by Scottish men: thus, the name, Scotch Bonnet. The shape is sometime referred to as “Cup and Saucer.”
There are many other peppers of different shapes and colors in Jamaica, but if they do not have the correct shape and color, they are not Scotch Bonnet.
