I always add dill, it gives it the real pickled taste and smell

Looks good. Where can we get those jars in T&T 🇹🇹?

I'm from uk and it hard to get pimento pepper and chadon beni. So do you think I could replace with other sweet peppers and coriander/cilantro?

[LisaTNash]

@Chef Shaun, so this mixture is used as a seasoning or to prepare sauces to accompany cooked items like meats, etc.?
In other words, exactly how do u use it?

[caribbeanqueen]

my question is wouldn't it ferment anyway if you just blend all the ingredients and refrigerate....instead of the pre-fermenting? that's how I did mine but I'm willing to try this one as well...
