Using Original Casrep made with bitter c***ava preserves this dish and prevents it from spoiling for one or more weeks un-refrigerated. In fact, one of the fantastic elements of Guyanese style Pepper Pot is it's capacity to remain un-refrigerated for long periods of time. Simply warm and re-use, however, care must be exercised when using a spoon in this dish, using a dirty (un-washed) spoon or a spoon that was used in any other food will deteriorate the Peppr Pot and cause spoilage almost immediately
This Guyanese style pepperpot is served extensively and almost exclusively at Christmas time, it is called pepper pot because of the spices added and the spicy taste that makes this dish especially wonderful
