6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 scotch bonnet pepper, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds, freshly toasted
1 cup pure olive oil
1/3 cup sour orange juice (you can substitute 1/3 cup combined orange and lime juices)
2 teaspoons spanish sherry wine vinegar
freshly toasted and ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

In a mortar mash the raw garlic, Scotch bonnet, salt, and cumin until fairly smooth. Scrape this into a bowl and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil until just hot and pour it over the garlic-chili mix, stirring the ingredients. Remove the pan from the heat and let it stand for 10 minutes.
Whisk in the sour orange juice and the vinegar. Season with pepper. Refrigerated, this will keep up to 3 months.
