Tropical Jerk Sauce

For our 10-year anniversary my wife and I took a trip to St. Lucia. Several mornings at breakfast I was able to have fresh passion fruit: the bright, very tart flavor was something special. Goya sells a passion fruit pulp in the freezer section of the grocery store, and while it's a great mix-in with vanilla-flavored yogurt, I found it also makes a perfect tropical addition to other dishes. This sauce pairs well with eggs and salty meats, and is based (not baste) on the sauce component of this recipe. The flavor is front-loaded with tropical fruit and allspice but finishes with a pleasant burn from the habeneros.

Approx. 8 oz
ingredients:

Base sauce

Finishing components

  1. Combine the base sauce ingredients in a sauce pan over medium-low heat. Simmer until reduced by 20% (to about 1 cup).
  2. Cool for 10 minutes then whisk-in the finishing components.
  3. Transfer to a bottle or jar and refrigerate.
