Tamarind Chutney: Mild/Medium/Hot/X-Hot
Jenny's Kitchen Tamarind Chutney was first created on Waiheke Island, NZ in 1998. This gourmet condiment with an exquisite anglo-indian flavour, has beautiful balance, and is famed for its depth of flavour.
The sweetness balances the natural sourness of the Tamarind*. It contains no vinegar, (which dominates many other chutneys). With beautifully spices creating a full rich flavour, it is available in four 'heats' from Mild to X-Hot.
Here's what Kelli Brett (Editor of Cuisine Magazine & 'Australia Cooks' book) said about it: "Now this is the bomb...It's amazing the things you can do with this chutney...Smear it over Salmon before baking, or stir some through a pot of pumpkin and coconut cream soup. Spread it on a pizza base or just savour the simple pleasures and just whack it into a grilled ham and cheese sandwich"
It is fabulous with cheeses, amazing in toasted sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and wonderful alongside any meats or poultry. Mix through mayonaise or yogurt as a dressing, serve with poppadoms as part of an indian meal, or use it as a base or topping sauce on a pizza.Or try it smeared over salmon before baking to cut through the richness.
The depth of flavour makes it incredible to cook with. Our most popular recipes include Tamarind Coconut Fish Florentine, Slow roasted Lamb with Tamarind Glaze & Gravy, Golden Tamarind Glazed Ham and more. All our recipes are easy and super delicious.
Our Tamarind Chutney is made with all natural ingredients (tamarind, sugar, garlic and spices) the old-fashioned 'small batch' way. Each pot is hand stirred, each jar is hand poured.
It is gluten-free.

Tamarind Sauce: Original/Spicy
Our Tamarind Sauce is the much-loved pourable version of our Tamarind Chutney. Featuring the same incredible depth of flavour, the sauces are available in two heats. 'Original' is similar to our 'Medium' chutney, and the 'Spicy' packs a chilli punch, and is a hot, sassy sauce.
They are fabulous BBQ sauces, but equally good poured over noodles, used as a dip, or as a drizzle over cooked meats or chicken. They bring tamarind delicousness to to glazes and marinades, soups, sauces or anything that needs a little bit of flavour added.
Tamarind Sauce ingredients: Tamarind, Sugar, Garlic, Spices, Fish Sauce

What is Tamarind?
We are often asked, so if you were wondering....a tamarind tree is a large canopy tree found in hot countries, bearing broad-bean like fruit pods of tamarind goodness. It is considered a 'fruit of the future' with a major part to play in reforestation plus providing shade, fruit, wood and income in many poorer communities globally.
