"From The Multi-Cultural of Trinidad & Tobago & the Caribbean from the Naparima Girls' High School Cookbook. This sounds great and I don't want to lose it. This has at least a 4 hour marinade. *I'm a bit skeptical about using food coloring for somthing like this so when I make it I will leave it out."
