Sweet Chilli Sauce is a welcome addition to so many dishes these days. Rennoldson’s have created Sweet Chilli Sauces for even more occasions by creating 3 signature flavours that are even more versatile than your standard sweet chilli sauce. & what I personally love is that they are natural.
I love sweet chilli sauce. It started as something that I once only ate with prawn crackers, but now I use it much more regularly. However, most sweet chilli sauces you find in the supermarkets are full of nasties & unnatural things that you really shouldn’t be putting inside your body. So it has been a saviour for me to find Rennoldson’s, a company that produces sweet chilli sauces with nothing artificial; they call it… Flavours from Nature!
So what are their sweet chilli sauce flavours from nature?
- Fiery Pineapple, Ginger & All Spice
- Rich Pomegranate Lime & Mint
- Apple, Green Pepper & Bay
Now, there is no shame in initially thinking: “They sound crazy… what the hell would they taste like?!” Because I thought exactly that! I am the least fussy eater you will meet (despite what my food intolerances make out!!), & I was super excited to give them all a try!
Rennoldson’s make their 3 flavours of sweet chilli sauce from:
“whole fruits and vegetables, that are hand juiced in a green oak press to ensure absolute clarity of flavour. A carefully selected secondary flavour is accompanied by a herb or spice to create the perfect balance for each sauce.”
Great news, & better still every sweet chilli sauce that Rennoldson’s produces is both gluten free & dairy free.
Now for me personally, sweet chilli sauce is a condiment. Something I might drizzle over salmon or use as a dip. However, Rennoldson’s state on the bottle that their sauces would be perfect as a base for a marinade or as a cooking ingredient. So really the possibilities are endless!
I’ve decided to do what I know and stick to using it as a condiment! Unfortunately, for me, I am one of those folk that really struggles to digest anything sugary, whether that be a massive cream cake or some fresh fruit. So I tend to steer clear of marinading meat in this way, even if the sugars are good & natural.
I’m currently visiting my parents so I thought I would do a taste test with them, so they could let me know which sweet chilli sauce they liked best & what they thought of them. I lined them up alongside a few tasty ‘dippers’… cheese & prawns being the favourite dippers! Here are the verdicts:
Fiery Pineapple, Ginger & All Spice: This was definitely the favourite. We all decided we prefered this to regular sweet chilli sauce. It’s like a sweet & sour sauce with more of a kick to it. It smells amazing too. We enjoyed it so much that the following day we drizzled it over some fried rice at dinner. I would definitely recommend this flavour the most. This tropical taste would go with so many different dishes & snacks.
Rich Pomegranate, Lime & Mint: I initially found the smell of this sauce a little eccentric. I couldn’t tell if I liked it or not. But upon tasting it I changed my mind. The mint flavour really comes through a great deal & makes a chilli mojito party occur in your mouth – a really pleasurable experience! Whilst I wouldn’t pair it with my Chinese fried rice dish, I would have it some Mexican or Spanish flavours. I think it would work a treat!
Apple, Green Pepper & Bay: The spiciest of the sweet chilli sauce is definitely this one! It smells spicy & it definitely is. The green pepper taste comes through a lot & the spiciness somewhat overpowers the sharp granny smith apple flavour. Nevertheless, the combination of apple, green pepper & bay really works in this sweet chilli sauce. My Dad, who is a fan of spicier foods really enjoyed this one & said he would use it with a range of different dishes. Like the other two, it is very versatile but additionally, it’s hot hot hot!!!
Overall all 3 sweet chilli sauce went down rather well.They are refreshing in both flavour & idea. I love the concept & I love the fact they are completely natural. I also love the packaging, it works so well with the vibrant colours of the sweet chilli sauces. These sauces are truly something amazingly different on the palate. I really love them… & will definitely be enjoying all 3 sauces again!
