Spicy fruit condiment

Spicy Caribbean Pickled Peppers (“Mother-in-Law” Style)

This spicy condiment is often used on the side of many curry dishes in Trinidad and Tobago. The name may come from the ‘spicy’ nature of one’s mother in law, mixed with different textures and flavors (complexity). Do keep in mind that you can control the amount of heat of this condiment by the number and type of hot peppers you use.
