Cayman Pepper Patch

Passengers love “Made in Cayman” goodies! What started as hobby for an avid backyard gardener has now become a “must have” in Cayman households, as well as a perfect souvenir gift to take back home – Hot PEPPER PATCH gourmet pepper jelly guaranteed to get your taste buds flowing. It’s made from locally grown scotch bonnet peppers, what Caymanians call “seasoning” peppers. But, the list of ingredients does not stop thereā€¦ freshly ground Jamaican pimento, nutmeg, cloves, garlic, onions, and other locally grown species of West Indian peppers and sweet peppers make up this spicy gourmet delight produced by Carol Hay. The pepper jelly’s delicious blend of sweet, tangy and hot is sure to add a tasty kick to any table. This one woman weekend operation uses only the finest and freshest ingredients and was four years in the making to get the taste just right. Small batches allow incredible control over flavour, colour, texture & quality – no dyes or preservatives of any kind. Its Finger lickin’ tips: Best eaten with cheese and crackers (or Triscuits) or even a bagel. Devout pepper jelly fans swear by a dab of Philly cheese and a generous dollop of this stuff. Great as a nibble with a glass of wine. Superb as a ham glaze or as chutney. Adds pizzaz to pizza and hot dogs. A “must” for your seasoning cupboard. In truth, endless culinary possibilities! Available at all supermarkets: Fosters Kirks and Hurleys and fine souvenirs shops. Forgot to purchase it? No problem! Bodden’s Freeport in the airport departure lounge in Grand Cayman now carries it.
