Happy New Year to all you CH'ers!
While doing a little research on "old Florida," I came across a recipe
for "old sour," a sauce made by the original settlers in the Florida
Keys.
Old Sour
2 c. lime juice
1 Tbsp. salt
Hot chile, to taste
Strain lime juice, add salt, stir, let rest at room temperature for
several weeks. Then bottle and cork and remove to a cool place.
Supposedly, it improves with age. One writer suggested that the chile be
suspended by a thread and removed after a few days....however, we CH'ers
might want to leave it in a while longer! It was used primarily on
fish/seafood, but I imagine it could have other uses as well.
Good luck!
