Ideas And Tips:

• Browning is a natural food coloring used throughout the Caribbean. Aside from giving a dark brown color, it also adds an authentic Caribbean flavor to the dish. It is made from sugar, seasonings, and oil or water. Do not use too much browning as it can give the dish a bitter taste.
