Here is a classic pique recipe from Puerto Rico. As usual, the longer
the chiles steep, the hotter the sauce will be. It should be stored in a
bottle with a sprinkler cap so the amount of sauce can be controlled as
it is sprinkled over grilled fish, poultry, or even into salads. Note:
This recipe requires advance preparation.

10 to 20 “bird peppers” (chiltepíns), or any small, hot chile, fresh or dry
