Old sour

Old sour is a sauce used in the Bahamas and Key West, Florida.[1][2] Old sour sauce originated in the Bahamas, and was originally prepared using key lime juice, salt and bird peppers.[1][2] It is made from an aged (fermented) mixture of lime (fruit) juice and salt.[3][4] Old Sour has a salty and acidic flavor.[3] Hot sauce is sometimes used to add additional flavor.[5][6] Conchs, natives of Key West, use the sauce for a variety of food including seafood dishes.[7] The sauce may have been developed to preserve lime juice.[7]
