Hawkshead Relish Hot Garlic Pickle

287 gram jar - Lake District, UK

How strange! Open this jar and see the unexpected!!!

There are cloves of garlic that await you; that is what you see instantly, immediately!

After the shock of seeing cloves of garlic sitting on top, curiosity creates a strong desire to pop a clove into your mouth to taste.

First and foremost the garlic is smooth and friendly (you should have no fear of eating this clove of garlic) and the spices are tangy-tingly and fun. There is heat for sure but not over the top. More like friendly, in-your-face heat. I want to meet you heat. Your lips could tingle too.

This an excerpt of what Maria wrote about the creation of this delightful pickled garlic cloves that is worth having now!!

"Over the years, Mark and I have travelled to India with our daughters in search of spices, recipes and of course a little mid-winter warmth.

This hot garlic pickle was developed after a trip to Madras, during which we ate at a restaurant that served up a main course heavily seasoned with garlic and spices. The flavours were outstanding, and Mark's notebook immediately came out; he was convinced that it would work as a pickle."

It is a delicious accompaniment to life!
