1 1/4 cups ketchup
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Jamaican hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons Jerk marinade (reserved from associated recipe) 3 scallions, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons dark rum

In a medium non-reactive saucepan combine all ingredients except rum and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook another 12 minutes, until sauce is thick and flavorful and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in rum. Cool sauce to room temperature before serving.
