Somebody said the other day that a Sancocho would not be the same without "agrio de naranja". "What is that?" you probably asked yourself, well, it is a home-made substitute for vinegar with a spicy taste. It adds just the kick your stew might be lacking. This is not exactly a dish, thus the fact that it's not in the recipe section.

You need:

• A large, clean glass bottle
• 20 sour oranges
• 13 Scotch bonnet peppers
• 5 cloves of garlic, sliced in halves
• 3 sprigs of fresh oregano
• A sprig of thyme

To prepare it:

1. Wash 20 sour oranges.
2. Squeeze the juice and sieve.
3. Fill up the bottle and add the remaining ingredients.
4. Macerate for a few days in the refrigerator. Use to season stews (each person should be able to add it to taste to their own serving). Keep refrigerated.
