HOT or NOT! With so many wonderful ingredients and flavours in these sauces and seasonings, the choice is yours as to how much heat you want. If you can't manage too much hot spicy pepper, our mild seasonings give you all the delicious Caribbean flavour without the heat. Just add your own chilli or pepper to the level you want. Of course, if it's hot you want, there's plenty of options from Jerk to Cropover Blaze. So, hot or not, you will still get that wonderful Caribbean taste. Great as condiments, marinades, coating on fish/chicken before grilling/BBQ, even coating outside of joints of meat before roasting. There's a sauce and seasoning for everyone!

Perfect Pepper Jelly One of our most popular products for sampling at markets and festivals, and with so many different uses. The sweet heat goes perfectly with a really strong cheddar, and spread onto lamb before roasting/BBQ, (maybe with some chopped fresh mint mixed in), gives a delicious glazed finish. Try experimenting by mixing 50/50 with creamy mayonnaise and using as a luxurious dip to accompany crispy chicken/fish goujons and tempura prawns/vegetables. 

Jerk with bags of flavour!. Our Jerk Seasoning from the creative people at Star Barbados, has all the scotch bonnet heat you would expect, along with wonderful flavours that come to the fore with cooking. Add an equal measure of jerk to water, combine and pour into a ziplock bag with steak, chicken fillets, fish fillets or chunky root vegetables. Marinade in the fridge for a few hours then drain. Bake, grill or BBQ on skewers for great tasting summer food. Mix with a little olive oil then brush onto chicken/fish with skin on, then cook as above. A delicious vegetarian option is to mix with a little olive oil and spread over chunks of cauliflower florets. Then roast for around 20 minutes.

For a classic stew, take some good quality stewing steak/chicken thigh meat/soild vegetables, (butternut/swede/pumpkin/potato etc), then stir fry with a little oil and a couple of good spoonfulls of Jerk. Add some onions and peppers chopped, and fry until a good browning on the outside is achieved. Add water, stir to combine the lovely sticky bits on the bottom of the pan until a gravy consistency is reached. Transfer to slow cooker/stew pot and cook for a few hours until the contents are falling apart!. Serve with some rice, kidney beans and salad, or some homemade roti bread

Ginger in lots of ways!  Our delicious strong concentrated Ginger Beer Syrup is full of spicy ginger flavour, and perfect as a mix with water/sparkling water/soda for a refreshing drink. Also, mix 2 parts rum/gin/whisky with 1 part Ginger Beer Syrup, add ice and if required some citrus, (pared orange/lime or lemon peel), relax and sip away!

You can go further and combine with lemon juice and sugar for topping a sponge drizzle cake. Prick the surface of the cake all over and just pour over the mix which will soak into the sponge and crystalise on top.

Use as a great sauce base for stir fry. Simply combine the ginger with chopped fresh garlic, spring onion and soy for a real oriental flavour

Or just pour on the top of a creamy vanilla ice cream
