Bajan Seasoning Hot Sauce
Source of Recipe

Recipe Introduction
This seasoning is found in almost every home in Barbados,
and is the secret to the success of many mouth-watering
Bajan dishes. One of the favorite uses is to place it
between the meat and skin of chicken pieces before grilling,
baking or frying.
Yield: 2-3 cups
Heat Scale = VERY HOT
This can be made somewhat less hot by substituting a less
hot variety of peppers. Anaheim peppers are possibly the
mildest, and fresh jalapeno peppers are less hot than the
Habaneros. You may want to make a mix of peppers to suit
your taste buds.
List of Ingredients
1 pound Onions -- coarsely chopped
5 ounces Green Onions -- coarsely chopped
8 cloves Garlic
4 Bonney Chiles (Habaneros) -- stemmed and seeded
2 ounces fresh Parsley -- finely chopped
2 ounces fresh Thyme -- stems removed
2 ounces fresh Marjoram -- stems removed
1 1/2 cups Vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground Cloves
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
3 tablespoons Salt
Recipe
In a food processor, combine onions, green onions, garlic
and chilies; process to a coarse paste.
Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. In food processor or
blender, place parsley, thyme, marjoram and vinegar; liquefy
and add to onion paste.
Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Cover and refrigerate a
full week before using. Mixture will keep in refrigerator at
least six months
I forgot to caution you to handle hot chilies with rubber gloves and avoid getting the juices into your eyes, or on sensitive skin areas. BTW--cooking takes a lot of the sting of jalapenos out.
