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 lime (fruit) juice and salt.[3][4] Old Sour has a salty and acidic flavor.[3] Hot sauce is sometimes used as an ingredient to add additional flavor.[5][6] Conchs, natives of Key West use the sauce for a variety of food including to flavor seafood dishes.[7] The sauce may have been developed to preserve lime juice.[7]
