How to Make Spicy Bajan Rum Sauce

  1. Sterilize a jar (e.g., a 250ml mason jar).
  2. Add 2-4 Scotch Bonnet peppers, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference).
  3. Pour in 175ml (6 fl oz) of high-quality dark rum (or light rum for a milder flavor).
  4. Seal the jar tightly.
  5. Steep in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, or up to 4 weeks for a spicier, more intense flavor.
  6. Once steeped, strain the rum sauce through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the peppers.
  7. Store in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
  8. Drizzle over grilled meats, use as a marinade, or add to cocktails for an extra spicy twist!
