Miss Winn, you’ve helped me learn how to cook from my freshman year of college till today , thank you so much! You deserve all the goodness that comes your way!

This is the recipe I've been looking for ! Thank you! I stayed two weeks in Liberia at a Guest House close to the American Embassy, and we had this lady chef called Mama Jeryl...She fed us SO goooooD! I'm Nigerian and I'm back home, but I still remember thr taste of the pepper sauce and Corn Bread I had IN Liberia . Mama Jeryl had made me a jar of pepper sauce to take home with me and told me how to make some,but now my stash is all gone and I forgot the recipe. I saw many videos of Liberian Pepper Sauce online, but this one comes the closest to what that sweet lady taught me. Thank you so much! Im trying this ASAP. New subscription!

Thank you sis! I’m Nigerian but I love Liberian food 🤎🤎🇱🇷

I'm American n my family used a knife also to open cans so not all America use can openers.

I don’t believe she meant it offensively. What she says is true. Many people in parts of Africa lack some of the little conveniences such as can openers, microwaves and such that America has. That’s a real statement. In some places food is cooked outdoors on coal. Having seasonings is different from having modern kitchen conveniences and gadgets. Most Haitians/Africans would understand that bcuz it’s the literal truth.

im a born african american and i have been opening my cans like that for years even if i have a can opener..much faster for me. to let you know majority of americans season food to taste and by eye. reason for measurements is for health reasons and those trying to maintain a healthy weight also..but i love how you open that can sis!!lol😊

If you want your pepper sauce without too much heat/hotness , you can mix your habanero pepper with bell pepper to reduce the heat. I like mine really hot that's why I used only habanero pepper.

Our neighbors are from Liberia and bring us food often. Wende always gives us her Liberian hot pepper sauce, but besides chicken, shrimp, and fish, can you tell me what else to put her sauce on? I'm subscribing to your channel. Or maybe you already have recipes where you use this hot sauce, and I just need to play around on your channel. My husband LOVES her spicy food, but I sadly admit that she has to make a cry-baby version for me. LOL And I LOVE when she cooks on Sundays and has her windows open. The entire neighborhood smells amazing whenever she cooks.

You've got a new sub! I enjoyed everyone of your cooking. Growing up in Liberia having a cook, I must say I really didnt know how to cook most dishes but with your detailed demonstration I'm proud and confident enough to make some of my favorite dishes. Thank u sis!😘

Thank you for an Amazing Video, I really needed this bc I couldn’t buy the Liberian pepper sauce in a jar, I think it’s called Koto. Anyways thank you very much for teaching a black girl in Virginia, how to cook this. I love African Cuisine and I have only tasted Ghana, Kenya and Nigerian,Liberian food so far… I have some ways to go.. I would to try South African food ❤ anyways Winn you are amazing and be grateful you in live in Africa. I wish all my people could come back, were so lost and mistreated here. I’m not complaining bc some of it is our fault. Anyways, thanks Love

Hi, I love your page its very helpful

Thanks Sista ‼️ I made it & it was so good

So happy for this recipe! Thank you! There is a Liberian restaurant that sells this for 12 dollars a bottle. Now I can use that 12 dollars to make a super batch!

Congrats on your channel and all the success that awaits you. Your videos are awesome and am very happy for you and proud of you. To note this wonderful dish you made isn't Liberian Pepper Sauce. In Liberia we know this as Fried Pepper. We we Liberians speak of Pepper Sauce; it's an entirely different item prepared differently. When pepper is fried in oil it is fried pepper. When pepper is steamed or boiled down into a liquid with 👉🏿Vinegar👈🏿 added in; we Liberians call that Pepper Sauce. Fried Pepper is a rice condiment. Pepper Sauce is a fufu and soup (Pepper Soup) condiment.

Made tonight. It’s amazing.

Please don’t tell people that we didn’t have can openers in Liberia. Just say your family didn’t have one.With that statement you are insinuating that there weren’t any can openers in the country. Some families did things the old fashion way and others couldn’t afford to buy a can opener so they didn’t have a choice but to use a knife.My family had a toaster a CanOpener,cake mixer etc.

Just because your family had all those stuff that don’t mean it was available in store to everyone back then. Probably those that had it were people who have relatives abroad that send them those stuff. It wasn’t available in the market or store like the way all the other cooking material were available to everyone back then. Those stuff just started being available to everyone and I’m not saying everyone can afford it now but at least you can see it in store and market places a lot now than before but thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching.

While cooking with what you already know is a good thing, it is wise to learn from other people recipes. Can openers are in Liberia if you know where to buy it and can afford it. I guess your pepper sauce is ok,but there is better, much better. Try other recipes. Liberia especially has excellent pepper sauces. Especially if you want to be a good cook.

Winn, watch what you say. All Americans are not Spoiled. I'm from Mississippi and I grew up waking up early in the morning going to the bean and greens field to pick vegetables. We used a Knife to open cans, we fished everyday for food. My uncle hunted for deer and other meats. Yes the world has changed now and we have more technology. But nothing stays the same, everything changes. A baby go from a baby to an adult. A Caterpillar turns into a butterfly. With that being said. I just subscribed and now I'm unsubscribing.

As long as the knife is sharp and you feel comfortable using it, that’s all that matters.
