A spicy almost juice-like hot sauce. It has a lot of flavour and you can adjust its hotness to your liking by choice and amount of chillis. The original recipe called for cachaça (a Brazilian drink), but can be substituted by a white rum – I tend not to use alcohol in food (I don’t drink it, so it’s very expensive to buy it to use small amounts in cooking), so I used apple juice.
