Ogilvie's Devil's Chilli & Lime Jam

As the name suggests, this "Devil's" Jam has got a kick that is addictive. Spice up any chicken kebab with this condiment or serve dallops on a gourmet pizza. Fresh red chillies cooked with the sweetness of sugar and slivers of lime make for a combination that can compliment your next stir fry or even a fresh prawn salad.

Caramel Onion & Balsamic Relish

Rich, juicy & sesational with beef, the great flavours of onions cooked slowly to turn their own sugars to caramel then splashed with the dark, full bodied balsamic vinegar makes this relish an intense flavoured condiment that's a must served with any roast or hearty meal. It's a surprising addition to the breakfast table as a more savoury spread on toated sour dogh with cream cheese or with your bacon & eggs.

Smashed Berry & Vodka Sauce

The sweet but tart flavours that ooze out from smashed berries go well with the generous shot of Vodka to make this sauce perfect poured over a big bowl of tropical fruit salad served with cream. And if you want a great way to start the day, try a splash of this sauce over your bowl of muesli and yoghurt with a sprinkle of roast slivered almonds. Of course you can always pour over a bowl of ice cream, a pudding or cake or even splash on pancakes and waffles.
