The Chilli Garden — Scotch Bon­net Sauce

I like to see sauces that are made with a single vari­ety of chilli, it feels like get­ting a single malt scotch to try, (A pleas­ure I enjoy) I hope that I will be able to the chilli over the other ingredients.

The Chilli Garden is a small fam­ily run busi­ness based in Hamp­shire, they grow all their own Chil­lies, in 5000m2 of green­houses , They are mem­bers of the Whole­some Food Asso­ci­ation and are work­ing towards full organic status, with no herb­i­cides, pesti­cides or any other unnat­ural products used.

They only use the finest ingredi­ents to make their own Chilli Jam, Jelly, Sauces and even chocol­ate, the sauce comes in a 150ml bottle and has an unusual light orange col­our with very attract­ive style labels (See earlier art­icle regard­ing label prob­lems).

Ingredi­ents:- Scotch Bon­net Chil­lies (40%) Dis­tilled Malt Vin­egar (48%), Sea Salt & Xanthan Gum.

On open­ing the smell is of a spiced malt vin­egar, the sauce is lightly thickened with the addi­tion of the Xanthan Gum, which is one of the sauce makers super ingredi­ents as a very little of it with increase the vis­cos­ity of a sauce without chan­ging the taste, as an ingredi­ent it has been around since the 1960’s.

The sauce tastes salty with a hot with a fruity tang from the Scotch Bon­net it is a typ­ical Louisi­ana style sauce, excel­lent as part of a dress­ing or a con­di­ment with roast potatoes.

I like this sauce a lot, I can see myself using this with lunch today (Roast shoulder of Lamb with new potatoes)
