Rhum and pepper paint

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 teaspoons Black peppercorns
4 Whole cloves
2½ tablespoon Sugar
¼ cup Soy sauce
¼ cup White rhum
1 tablespoon Grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice

Directions

Toast the peppercorns and cloves together in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until puffs of smoke begin to appear. transfer to a spice grinder and grind roughly, about 1 minute. Place the sugar, soy sauce, rhum, lemon zest, and juice in a small heavy saucepan, and add the powdered spices.

Over medium heat, reduce the liquid until ¼ cup remains, about 10 to 12 minutes; it will begin to foam as it reduces. Remove the pan from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Let cool to room temperature.

Yields: about ¼ cup
