Presented in a stylish and eco-friendly display box, you get to mix ‘n match from the 7 sauces in the Pepper Jar range. Have you tried them all yet?
Maybe at this time of year, you’ll choose my Winter Sauce, its a huge seller at the moment, made with all those festive spices including ginger & nutmeg and seasonal fruits, there’s nothing quite like it. It’s a sweet chutney that has the tiniest spot of chilli and it works amazingly with cheeses, salads and cold meats – perfect with those Christmas crackers and nibbles. It is the taste of Christmas, in a jar.
Another seasonal favourite is my Sweet Chilli Sauce. A fresh, light drizzling sauce, with mango, pineapple and nip of Scotch Bonnet peppers, pour this over your prawn cocktail starters on Christmas Day to really set off your festive dining in style. (Brilliant with halloumi fries too!)
And you might want to select this years’ Great Taste Award-winningSmokin’ BBQ Sauce– or there’s always the best-selling and most versatile Garlic Sauce. The choices are yours, there really is something for everyone in my range.
Finally, I’d like to thank you for choosing to support small business this festive season.
Wishing you all a ‘Happy Christmas’ and better things for 2021.

Which ones will you buy..? Original Hot will keep you warm as the chills set in. Spooky Scorched Onion is for those having Halloween hot dogs. My best-selling Garlic Sauce will keep the vampires away, or why not try the Award-Winning Smokin’ BBQ Sauce on a meaty rack of ribs or smothered over pulled pork! Of course all my other flavours will be good too, you decide.
I’m hugely proud to announce that my Smokin BBQ Sauce has collected a major honour awarded by the Guild Of Fine Food. This latest recognition is added to the merits it achieved from the Cheese And Chilli Festivals in 2019. I only entered this one product into the Great Taste Awards following such good feedback from foodies and reviewers throughout this year. There were over 12,000 entrants and the judging process is notoriously meticulous, so it is with immense pride that I received the notification this week that my sauce was a winner.
If you haven’t tried it yet, you can pick it up here, and please do let me know what you think.
Its uses are a limited as your imagination – I dip chips and raw veg into it, smother it on burgers, coat it over cooked ribs, and recently made an awesome chilli-dog in puff pastry with a Smokin BBQ coating.
Big congrats to all the other Great Taste Winners, I’m delighted to be part of that club.
This super-easy, no-yeast bread is delicious. Serve with a thick chunk of your favourite cheese and good dollop of my Scorched Onion Sauce. A great addition to your ploughman’s lunch, soups or just tear it apart and share for snacking.
Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 45 mins
Ingredients:
NOTE: the chillies are optional – you can even include bacon bits or chopped fried shallots too!
I’m a big fan of fried chicken, and this recipe is one of my favourites. The garlic mayo works nicely to cool down the spicy chicken.
Ingredients
for the chicken prep: 3 large Chicken Breasts – I cut mine into strips but if you’re cooking whole breast then cover with clingfilm and flatten to about 8mm thick. 280ml buttermilk 1 tsp of garlic salt 1 tsp cayenne chilli powder 1 tsp salt & pepper
for the coating: 200g plain flour pinch salt and pepper 1 tsp garlic salt 1 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp mustard powder 2 tsp smoked paprika 3 tsp Cayenne or hot chilli powder
for the garlic mayo: 4 heaped tbs of light mayonnaise 1 tsp of Pepper Jar’s Garlic Sauce
Method
Mix the buttermilk, 1 tsp garlic salt, salt/pepper & 1 tsp cayenne in a large bowl. Submerge the chicken, cover and chill in the fridge for 2 – 4 hrs.
In another large bowl or large tray, thoroughly combine all dry ingredients for the coating. Remove chicken from buttermilk and let excess drip off. Cover both sides of chicken in flour mixture, and set aside.
Heat a pan of vegetable oil, or deep fat fryer to 175 degrees. Carefully place chicken in the oil, trying not to overcrowd – cook in batches if necessary. Fry for 5 – 6 mins until coating is golden and chicken is cooked through.
For the garlic mayonnaise: Combine the mayonnaise and Pepper Jar Garlic Sauce in a small bowl.
To Serve:
Serve the fried chicken either naked with a salad and garlic mayo on the side, or assemble into a bun of your choice with fresh salad, skinny fries….and remember to smother with the garlic mayo.
Great news! You can now grab my WINTER SAUCE at a bargain price of just £3.50.
Did you get to try it this Winter? How did you use it? I had it with savoury pastries, on cheese toasties, smothered over a bacon sandwich and glazing my gammon.
It’s a really versatile condiment. I know some customers used it on cheese boards, others on puddings.
So wether you want to try it for the first time, or you’re an existing customer who just needs a top-up, NOW is the time to buy it.
The trick for these is to get the wings as dry as possible before cooking. I salted these to extract the moisture, put them on absorbent paper in the fridge for a few hours, patted dry then repeated, replacing with clean absorbent paper. Pat dry, then coat in the dry rub of your choice (my recipe is below) and put back in the fridge overnight, in a bowl covered with clingfilm. The next tip is to use a very hot oven. Pre heat to 220 degrees. Use a flat baking tray lined with foil, and place a wire rack on top. Sit the wings on the rack. Bake for 25 mins in the top half of the oven, then turn wings over and bake for another 20 mins.
While the wings are cooking, I crisped up some finely chopped chorizo (about a minute in the microwave), melted some butter and added it to a large bowl with my ORIGINAL HOT SAUCE & the chorizo. Take the cooked wings out of the oven and toss in this butter mix before serving. Garnish with chopped chive, chilli flakes, sesame seed and fresh parsley.
