Prepared with cane vinegar and aged in oak barrels, Pickapeppa Sauce has a sweet but mellow flavor that gives it an unmatched versatility. It has, in fact, been called “Jamaican Ketchup” in tribute to its range of uses. Pickapeppa is undoubtedly a unique and delicious Jamaican sauce. From cream cheese to crab dip to barbeque to baked bananas, Pickapeppa Sauce is the perfect choice to add smooth, sweet flavor to any dish.
Since its creation in 1921, Pickapeppa Sauce has established itself as an international legend. A must-have sauce for knowing connoisseurs, Pickapeppa Sauce is now available in every country and can be found on the tables of many fine restaurants, the world over. SELECT INGREDIENTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD Pickapeppa Sauce is created using a unique blend of tomatoes, onions, sugar, cane vinegar, mangoes, raisins, tamarinds, peppers and spices. These fine ingredients are selected from seven countries around the world, to ensure the best possible quality. This blend is then aged in oak barrels for one full year before bottling to ensure the rich flavor that Pickapeppa’s admirers so love.
IT'S NOT JUST FOR CREAM CHEESE Although Pickapeppa is the best thing that ever happened to a boring slab of cream cheese, this is hardly the only use for this versatile sauce. It is often said that it can be used on everything except ice cream and Scotch Whiskey (and some may even debate this!)
Pickapeppa's uses are literally endless: Whether you are grilling, stewing, sautéing, marinating, basting, roasting, baking or broiling, Pickapeppa Sauce can add a distinctive but mellow flavor to your cooking, and, of course, Pickapeppa can be used directly out of the bottle on steaks, chops, seafood, burgers, poultry, vegetables, the ever-popular cream cheese, or almost any other dish you can think of. It's a steak sauce, a hot sauce, a marinade and a legend.
