    Aunt Mays Bajan Pepper Sauce Balance

    Aunt Mays isnt the hottest pepper sauce Ive ever tried. It definitely isnt Scorpion Pepper Sauce or this homemade magic potion I picked up at the New Market in Dominica.

    At the same time, though, it does pack a punch. Not one that overwhelms at the expense of flavor, however. Instead, Aunt Mays is well-balanced, offering just the right amount of heat to elevate the tamer flavors in its mix.

    For a soft mouth like mine , its pretty close to perfect.

    Also great: this bottle of Barbados perfection is readily available in the USA. Aunt Mays son recently established nationwide distribution via the Aunt Mays website. The brand is also widely available at West Indian grocery stores and

    Personally, I cant wait to pick up a bottle and put it to good use when next Im in Barbados. Who knows, maybe Aunt Mays will finally make me fall in love with Bajan food!

    Taste Bud Travel To Barbados

    The favorite pepper sauce among Barbadian friends we surveyed, Aunt Mays adds life to most any dish. As noted on the Aunt May website:

    Its fiery blend of seasonings ignites your taste buds and transports you to the warm shores of an island paradise.

    Specifically, Aunt Mays transports you to the Parish of Saint Michael in southwest Barbados. The blend was originally crafted there 30+ years ago. Then as now, careful consideration is made to employ ingredients exclusive to the region. This ensures you enjoy a true taste of Saint Michael with every bite of anything that you sprinkle it on.

    You might not want to sprinkle it too liberally, though

    An Amazing Hot Sauce From Barbados

    Since its getting colder for much of the U.S. so lets warm up the kitchen and make some Bajan hot sauce! This is a unique hot sauce to the Bajan/Barbadian culture. The bright yellow color comes from turmeric in addition of mustard the yellow prepared variety. Mustard is not usual ingredient found in other Caribbean type of sauces. The distinct hot flavor of scotch bonnets really shine and work well with the addition mustard. If scotch bonnets are hard to get in your area you could use habanero peppers but our preference is the scotch bonnet for authentic flavor.

    USES:

    This hot sauce is great with all kinds of food. I use it as a table sauce for anything that could use the addition of a spicy heat. Of course, seafood is a perfect match since it is a Caribbean style sauce. Bajan hot sauce will elevate the flavor of simple grilled chicken breasts or thighs. Bajan sauce is especially good with fried foods as the tardiness from mustard, lime and vinegar cut through the greasiness.

    This sauce has several variation changing from kitchen to kitchen and home to home. However our version is simple with limited ingredients to let the peppers shine. Variations include added culantro , ginger, or rum however we really prefer the simple is best approach in this particular sauce.

    Furthermore this is an easy to make hot sauce that will add some tropical sunshine to your cooking. For more information on tourism and cuisine in Barbados please visit Barbados.org
