Candied jalapeños in Blackthorn brine.
Whole jalapeños, candied in spiced syrup and finished in Blackthorn brine. The sweetness hits first, then the vinegar, then the heat creeps in quiet and refuses tae leave. Like a good argument — ye didnae see it coming and ye'll be thinking about it for days.
Sweet and syrupy upfront. A sharp lactic lift from the brine. Then the jalapeño heat arrives — warm, slow, and lingering. Excellent on a cheese board. Even better on a burger.
Chilli peppers fae Fife, aye Fife. Grown in Scottish soil, picked at peak heat, delivered straight tae the Fermentorium.
