The rustic appearance is pleasing and the aroma is appealingly sweet. The texture is great with the right amount of crunch in the veg. The heat level is spot on and it allows all the sweet and sharp flavours to come through . Very well balanced.

This beautiful, deep golden, glossy chunky relish looks so appetising in the jar. There is a delicate pineapple and spice nose.  On tasting it is wonderfully juicy because of the chunky pineapple.  We love the level of cardamon and ginger an hint of onion.  It is sweet, sour a, sharp with a gentle heat that grows on the palate but is not fierce, which means one could eat quite a lot of it at one sitting.  It would be great with cold roast pork or ham , it would suit chicken, fish or cheese too. We think this is a well-made, well-judged product.

Classic Jamaican hot sauce colour, aroma and indeed flavour, with all the ingredients playing their part in the overall flavour profile well.  Nicely seasoned and fruity whilst spicy in all the right places with appropriate mellowness and a nice long finish.

There are clove notes on the aroma.  A Good tang, quite fruity and well balanced, a clean acidity and a gentle heat, a great alternative to a standard apple sauce.
