    Thanks for the video. I remember making these pretty pickle sauce for 4H club.
    On another note, I’ve been enjoying your videos! Thanks!!
    (Do you still make chocolates? I’ll like to order some if you do)

    I have a “Kiwi” hand cutter that does julienne and scores/ decorates carrots, cucumbers et cetera, and is useful for firm cheese too. Indispensable since I’ve been cooking for one. Mine came from an Oriental grocery (as do many Caribbean ingredients where I live) — cheaper than buying online.

    Well prepared and it's good to see 2 different ways of making this. Not sure when people start to equate escovitch sauce with pickle pepper sauce.

  15. @lamdh3179

    Omg, I’m so happy I’ve discovered your channel. I’ve already shared with three of my coworkers.

    in Chicago we have a condiment called giardiniera that's really similar to this, we put it on sandwiches and pizzas, the peppers and veggies are crunchy and pickled but they are mixed with oil, I will definitely be trying this

    I love the history lesson along with the cooking techniques. Well done, new subscriber 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

  21. @Elle9228000

    Sometimes I put a small piece of ginger and a small pinch of sugar not to sweeten just to balance. The untrained palette won’t even notice it. You did a great job!

    As a nation jamaicans chat too fucking much when you come on social media and give away cooking recipes soon ot later nobody goes in jamaica restaurants so people like you running jamaican restaurants out of business.this is why walmart start selling so call jamaican food for take out that what jamaicans food comes down to walmart didn't decide to sell Italian food Portuguese food but jamaican food watering down the culture

    I love tuning in to your videos. I think you could work on making your presentation more engaging because at times it sounds like you're reading from a script. However, I really appreciate how you incorporate historical context into your presentations. Also a pinch of salt can't be generous.

  31. @tj6742

    Wow ! That's really incredible to watch bro ! I enjoyed watching you prepare and I appreciate the explanation as well. Now I know what to do ! ☺️ I Thank with my subscription and a like and will definitely check out your other content 🙏🏾👌🏾👍🏾

    This is not a sauce.

    It’s more like a side dish like Jamaican Coleslaw.

    I’m glad you guys have your own slaw, but you should recognize it isn’t a sauce.

    A sauce is a thin purée.
