Levi Root's Loveapple Tomato Sauce

What the bottle says...
Here's another little treat from my kitchen: Loveapple Sauce. Blended from sun-ripened tomatoes and chilli, it's a traditional Jamaican condiment with a kick.

My family have been making it for years and the exact recipe's a Roots family secret. But like my Reggae, Reggae, sauce, it's too good not to share.

You can use it as a marinade for tasty spare ribs or chicken drumsticks... or add a bit of Jamaican sunshine to traditional British fare by spahsing a healthy dollop on your mash, burger or BLT.

It makes a perfect dip for prawns, potato wedges (or even your fingers!). Go... tune into the flavours and put some music into your food. Enjoy!

What we say...
The man made famous by BBC's Dragon's Den, has brought Jamaican flavours to the UK's attention. However, don't be put off by Levi's celebratory status and slightly cheesy strapline, his sauces are based on family recipes going back 35 years. Lots of people try to add a spicy twist to the classic tomato ketchup but few succeed. Levi's Loveapple Tomato Sauce is a winner though. It's got just enough heat and Jamaican spice to ensuree that it's as at home on a British fry up as it is on something more exotic.
