"This is a West Indian marinade used for generations. It's best suited for fish and game. I like it on chicken and pork. Allow meat to marinate for at least an hour before cooking. Make sure you adjust the amount of chile peppers to your taste. Also, I sometimes replace the orange juice with marmalade for a sweeter marinade."

6 green onions, chopped

3 tablespoons minced shallots

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon ground allspice

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 scotch bonnet chile peppers, chopped

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1/2 cup cider vinegar

1/4 cup red wine

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon molasses


Method

In a medium bowl, combine the green onions, shallots, garlic, ginger, allspice, ground black pepper, chile peppers, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, brown sugar, orange juice, vinegar, wine, soy sauce, oil, and molasses.
