Pickapeppa is a famous brand of Jamaican sauce made from tomatoes, onions, sugar, cane vinegar, mangoes, raisins, tamarind, peppers and spices that are blended and aged in oak barrels for a year before bottling.
Created in 1921 in Shooter's Hill, where it is still produced, Pickapeppa sauce has a lightly sweet tang and the Jamaicans use it like ketchup and in dips and as a marinade for barbecued foods to lend a distinct flavor.
Pickapeppa sauce is also used in many Cajun and Creole dishes and is very popular poured over cream cheese and eaten with crackers.
What's the difference between light and dark rum?
What's the difference between light and dark rum?
Rum is a liquor made from both fermented sugar cane and its syrupy by-product, molasses. The rum is aged in casks of various materials which determine its final color.
Light rum (also called silver or white) is fermented in steel and filtered and has a clear color and a light, slightly sweet taste. Gold or amber rums are aged in oak, which produces a more caramel color and richer, more pronounced flavor. Rich, caramel dark rum is made by aging clear rum in charred oak casks, giving it a deep brown color and a full flavor. Note that spiced rum, which is flavored with spices and (often) caramel, does not qualify as dark rum.
