7-Pot stew?

We've probably all heard that 7-Pot peppers got their name because they're hot enough to "spice 7 pots of stew".  I don't know if that's actually true, but if it is, my question is... what stew?  I imagine it's something original to Trinidad and Tabago.  Has anyone had this stew, know how to make it or have a recipe?  I would love to try it.  Apologies if this topic has been covered already in a different thread,  I searched around a little but couldn't find it.

This one was in the "HIT" column for HITS and MISSES.  :lol:  We ate leftovers for breakfast.
 
Thank you, both! 
 
Thanks to MrW and this thread for the inspiration, this one is in the recipe files.

Salsalady, was it very sweet? A cup of sugar sounds like a lot. Looks great though!
 
It was sweet, but I ended up adding about 50% more of everything except sugar as I had 4 pounds of meat to cook.  That cut it a bit.  The cinnamon and allspices added to the sweet profile.  Really Good! and pretty easy~

Did you guys marinate everything overnight? The P. Dreadie recipe is balls deep!
I didn't see anything in the recipe about an overnight marinade. It really doesn't need it because the meat is cut into pieces and it simmers for a good while to infuse flavors and get everything tender.

In the link I posted or what you followed.....????
 
The master clearly said what he did and I followed, it was much better with flavor.
 
"Another thing I did differently was I “seasoned” the pork like I do my chicken. I added the pork to most of the vegetables and let them sit over night. I didn’t use the pigeon peas, tomatoes, okra ( I used frozen) or tomatoes. I prefer to add those at later stages of the cooking process. Then I scrape off the veggie seasoning mix and start browning the pork."

I'm sorry, I followed the recipe linked by Pooks.
