Tigg's Sauces - perfect match

The Amazing Blog is all about bringing flavour back into people’s lives and in our humble opinion, a sure fire way to do this is to have Tiggs Sauces stocked in your cupboard. Winners of the The Great Taste Awards three years in a row, these sauces pack a powerful flavour punch and guarantee to liven up any meal.

Tiggs produce naturally colourful sauces that have incredibly versatile uses. They work excellently on salad, pizza, pasta, as a condiment or a marinade. The brand prides themselves on creating healthier and flavoursome alternatives to bring some excitement back to dinner time. They have five flavours available; Sweet Original, Bold Beetroot, Cool basil and Pea, Subtle Pepper and Mustard and Smokin’ Tomato and Chilli. Each flavour is delicious so it’s really hard to pick a favourite but we do love Cool Basil and Pea which perfectly balances both flavours. The sauce goes so well with salad or pasta meaning we could easily have it for lunch and dinner on the same day – which we certainly have done! You can purchase the sauces here from £4.50

Granny's Secret - Light Jam

Here at The Amazing Blog we love nothing more than to indulge, but like most of us always feel guilty after we’ve given in to that pesky sweet tooth! However, with Granny’s Secret Diet (Light) Jams, we no longer have to feel the guilt while we’re devouring our crumpets.

Granny’s Secret Diet (Light) Jams are created from traditional recipes, contain no additives, and are vegan, gluten and dairy free. The brainchild of Serbian born Snezana Knowles, Granny’s Kitchen UK takes the tradition jam recipe, but instead of adding mountains of sugar, uses fructose instead which make the jams 40% less calorific, healthy and natural.

These were so delicious, you truly would never know that they aren't loaded with sugar. We like to eat natural, but not if it means compromising on enjoying our food. And being from the UK, we do eat a lot of jam. Granny's Secret Jam, in short, is perfect for us.

The jams come in a variety of flavours including Blackcurrant, Apricot, Sour Cherry, Strawberry, Wild blackberry, Raspberry, and can be purchased from Selfridges, Lakeland or the company website.

 

 

Stokes Real Tomato Ketchup

Here at Amazing PR we’ve been trying to make up for the overindulging of last week’s National Chocolate Week (which we committed ourselves fully to - all in the name of research of course) and are officially on a no-junk health kick.

Today we have been going tomato crazy thanks to Stokes Real Tomato Ketchup. Unlike the sugary and additive packed well-known ketchup variety this one actually tastes of tomatoes (Italian tomatoes to be exact) and has a much richer flavour which is just the right side of sweet with a slight tanginess. It is the perfect accompaniment for salty chips, sausages and mash or a traditional English fry up, all of which are not complete without a large dollop of ketchup on the side (while the dishes aren’t exactly healthy we can rest assured that the sauce is!). Not only is it gluten free, it contains no artificial colourings, flavourings or artificial sweeteners and is made in the heart of rural Suffolk. It also has the foodie’s seal of approval and was awarded a Great Taste Award along with many more of the fantastic, award-winning sauces, chutneys, relishes, mustards and dressings in the Stokes range which can be found on the website here and in selected supermarkets and delis.
