I rave incessantly about Tracklements, and with good reason. Established in the 1970s, Tracklements, a Wiltshire-based family company, is a byword for quality. Their secret is sourcing ingredients from farms and small businesses across England plus, believe it or not, everything is still made by hand in small batches.  No wonder every one of their products is such a special treat.

Never satisfied with an already outstanding range, the company is constantly creating new and original tastes. They demonstrate a genuine passion for amazing food and I’m always happy to appreciate the results.

So I couldn’t wait to try their new special edition Pineapple and Chilli Relish (how do they think of such combinations?) and I was definitely not disappointed.

True to form, this relish is jam-packed with real, honest ingredients. Nearly two thirds of the relish is pure pineapple, and a generous helping of red chillies infuses a real bite to the heavenly pineapple sweetness. Add a medley of other natural ingredients including cider vinegar, raw cane sugar, onions, carrots, ginger and mustard seed, and an absolute feast of flavours hits your taste-buds. It’s also gluten free and vegan friendly.

You can enjoy this stunning relish in many ways – I love it with a slice of cheshire cheese personally, but here’s a great suggestion from Tracklements – it makes an amazing meat marinade. Not only do the flavours complement chicken and pork perfectly, but the high content of pineapple contains a natural enzyme which tenderizes the meat. My mouth is watering and I can’t wait to try that.

At RRP £3.95 for 190g, Tracklements Special Edition Pineapple & Chilli Relish is available from fine food delis and farm shops nationwide and at www.tracklements.co.uk. This is definitely one to grab whilst it’s still available.
