Pickapeppa SaucePosted Jan 2nd 2006 3:34PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Caribbean, CondimentsI've always described Pickapeppa Sauce as "Jamaican A-1." I was surprised when I went to Pickapeppa.com and found that they refer to it as "Jamaican ketchup."
Really, that's probably more appropriate, since it's way more than a steak sauce. It does work great on meats, and I'll
usually put it on grilled pork or, my favorite, cold, leftover fried chicken. I recently heard of blending it with cream
cheese, however. Some people suggest making a dip, but I just put a few drops on a bagel with cream cheese and tomato
slices. (I also do this with Marmite.) I suspect I use the "A-1" comparison because it's the
closest thing I can think to compare Pickapeppa to. The flavor is slightly spicy and acidic, but tempered with sweet
fruit like mangoes, raisins and tamarinds. It's made many a dry, leftover piece of meat into great sandwich fodder.
