Marie Sharp's Grapefruit Pulp Habanero Pepper Sauce

What the bottle says...
Marie Sharp’s Habanero Pepper Sauce is the finest product of its kind. This unique grapefruit-based blend achieves the perfect balance between flavour and heat. Nestled in the foothills of the Mayan Mountains, Marie Sharp’s factory still creates products the old-fashioned way: using the freshest vegetables and the finest ingredients. Her secret utilizes the potent yellow habanero pepper. Produced in the fertile paradise of Belize, her yellow habanero is considered to be the hottest variety of the pepper known to man. Marie has spent many years cultivating a habanero worthy of her recipe. She has succeeded.

What we say...
OK, we know Marie Sharp's claim to grow the 'hottest variety of pepper known to man' can be refuted but don't let that put you off her sauces. They are fresh, flavoursome chilli sauces with a hefty heat hit.

We love this grapefruit one. It's great to have something on the shelves that's different and this certainly is. It's beautiful looking, chunky sauce with grapefruit 'bits' rubbing up next to the yellow Habanero peppers.  Sour and fruity, hot and fresh-tasting, the imaginative cook will have so much fun with this. We think it lends itself well to seafood but would also enliven chicken. How about stirring a splash into rice or cous cous along with some finely chopped coriander and spring onion? Better still, add it to roughly chopped toms, red onion and avocado chunks for a fiery, fruity salsa.
