• 0.25 cup dark rum
• 2 tablespoons Bajan hot pepper sauce
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons lime juice

• 2 cloves minced garlic

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a small saucepan, combine dark rum, Bajan hot pepper sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, allspice, ground cayenne pepper, and water.

2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the brown sugar has dissolved completely.

3. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

4. Allow the sauce to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and reaches a glaze-like consistency.

5. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, or a touch more sugar to balance heat, if desired.

6. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.

7. Serve immediately as a sauce for meats, seafood, or vegetables, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
