The Spicy Bajan Rum Sauce is a classic sauce from Barbados, used to add heat to traditional Bajan dishes like grilled chicken and fish. Made with just two ingredients, it's incredibly easy to make and can be stored in the fridge for future use. It's important not to overdo it with the chile peppers, as they are very spicy and can easily overpower the flavor of the rum.

Instructions

1.	Stem the chile peppers and remove the seeds, slicing them into thin rings.
2.	In a small saucepan, heat up the rum over medium heat until it starts to boil.
3.	Add the sliced chile peppers to the rum and lower the heat, letting it gently simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chilies have infused the rum with heat.
4.	Taste the sauce, adding salt if necessary.
