Vinaigre Piquant or Pikliz (Picklese) or Spicy Vinegar of Haiti from Caribseek.com & "A Taste of Haiti" by Mirta Yurnet-Thomas and this way I could give you accurate amounts and correct "cooking" times. This is EXTREMELY HOT that is the least I can say! "Pikliz" or pickled Scotch Bonnet peppers is used to give flavor to many dishes. It is also placed on the table at mealtime so that you can sprinkle as much as you want over your food. In many dishes only the pickled vinegar of the "pikliz" is used, whereas in other dishes the carrots, cabbage and onions are used. Haitians only use fresh Scotch Bonnet peppers - they don't use the peppers from the "pikliz." I did not add the marinating time that is 24 to 48 hours. Used with Soupe Joumou(Haitian Pumpkin Soup) as a seasoning and/or a condiment.
