Red Onion Marmalade

 

Our Red Onion Marmalade is an exceptional red onion relish, made with sticky black treacle and rich balsamic vinegar in which the onions simmer and reduce for two hours to caramelise. It is a full flavoured relish with a delicious sweet sauce.

The Great Taste judges commented ‘A clever twist on a classic condiment. Good soft onions and the balance between the balsamic and treacle.’

It is great with cheese, cold meats, meat pies and a traditional ploughman’s lunch – remember those ?

Try rolling out a sheet of puff pastry. Cut it into smaller squares, folding a 1cm raised border to each side. Spoon Red Onion Marmalade across the base with grated Cheddar cheese over the top. Brush the border with a beaten egg then pop it into a moderate oven. When the border rises to a golden brown and the cheese browns and bubbles excitedly – it’s ready … are you?

Fig Relish

 

This sweet Fig Relish of ours has a slight tartness, brimming with dried figs (60%) and made with cider vinegar and molasses for a great complement to cheese.

Try this – a slice of ciabatta-style bread, fig relish, goat’s cheese and under the grill for a tasty snack.

The sweet jam that encompasses gentle chilli heat in our Chilli Jam makes a wonderful relish in a burger. But stirred into a beefy gravy, it makes Yorkshire Puddings beg for more.

The Great Taste judges commented ‘Enticing bright red appearance with chunks of peppers visible. It is warming, has a real chilli flavour without being overpowering, with the taste of the peppers coming through. Pleasing contrast between the chilli and the sweetness of the peppers.’

Sticky Pickle

 

Bring your cold cuts back to life with this sweet, sticky ‘Patron Saint’ of pork pies.

It’s a scrumptiously Sticky Pickle with our own unique blend of vegetables in a sweet and spicy sauce made with molasses and black treacle. Yum!

A sweet Mango Chutney truly fruits with just the right tickle of spice – perfect with delicious Indian cuisine; curries, samosas and bhajis. It’s pretty good with a really mature Cheddar cheese too.

Our Spiced Apricot Chutney is so good, packed with fine apricots, plump sultanas and a hint of ginger, reflecting the gentle spices of a North African tagine.

Piccalilli

 

Piccalilli is a very British sauce, crunchy with garden vegetables, tangy with mustard and spiced with golden turmeric.

Cauliflower, Courgette, Onions, Green & Red Peppers and, of course, Gherkins – a true piccalilli like this simply begs to sit alongside ham and particularly sweet, fatty brawn.

 

We simply wouldn’t make it if we couldn’t make it amazing

Taste is the most personal of the senses. What’s ‘wonderful’ to one may be ‘disappointing’ to another. So we work as a team when creating new sauces and sauce variations. Our taste aficionados develop the recipes, source and test the finest ingredients and refine the preparation, cooking process and cooking times, all essential to create the ‘wow’ factor we all enjoy.
