Place oil in a small pan and let it heat up for about 2 minutes on medium. Add the garlic and scotch bonnet pepper (do not cut the scotch bonnet pepper) and let then cook in the oil while you stir from time to time until the garlic just starts getting brown. Add the allspice, cinnamon and brown sugar. Stir and let it cook just until the sugar melts. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Place the rest of the ingredients into a blender then add the allspice mixture. Blend into a paste.
Place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to ten days.
