Sauce Shop® Unveils Two New Festive Flavours: Brussels Sprout Kimchi Hot Sauce & Spiced Cranberry Hot Honey

Sauce Shop®, the UK's favourite craft condiments brand is launching another two bold limited-edition flavours: Brussels Sprout Kimchi Hot Sauce and Spiced Cranberry Hot Honey. These new creations bring a playful, flavourful twist on typical festive flavours.

Sauce Shop® X Aldi Brussels Sprout Kimchi Hot Sauce is a bold and tangy savoury blend that reimagines the classic sprout with a Korean-inspired twist. 

The secret to Sauce Shop's range of tasty hot sauces is their signature fermented chillies – taking perfectly ripened chillies, salting them and ageing them for 2-4 weeks for layers of flavour. 

For their latest creation, they've taken things a step further, fermenting Brussels sprouts and green jalapeños together.

Tapping into the increasing consumer demand for gut-friendly foods that deliver on both taste and functionality, the Sauce Shop® X Aldi Brussels Sprout Kimchi Hot Sauce does it all.

Product highlights:

Heat level: Hot

Serving suggestions: in a leftovers sandwich, as an alternative Christmas dinner condiment or with a cheeseboard

Availability: Available from the 28th of November 2024 in over 1,000 Aldi stores nationwide

Packaging: Available in a recyclable 155g glass bottle

RRP: £ 3.49

Sauce Shop® X Aldi Spiced Cranberry Hot Honey is a festive take on the brand's Honey Sriracha Drizzle. It's a sweet and sticky honey-dominated condiment, with tart cranberries and punchy chilli heat from the brand's own fermented habanero and jalapeño chillies. It's a festive twist on the classic Cranberry Sauce as we know it!

Product highlights:

Heat level: Medium

Serving suggestions: with sausage rolls, gyoza, chicken bites and all other Christmas party food. As a glaze for ham, drizzled over baked camembert or with a cheeseboard

Packaging: Available in a 180g glass bottle

RRP £3.49

Suitable for Vegetarians.

"After the runaway success of our Brussels Sprout Ketchup over the past few years, we're excited to unveil two brand new festive flavours in collaboration with Aldi. We like to push the boundaries of flavour and thought Christmas condiments needed more of a spruce-up. After an experimental Brussels sprout ferment went well (which took place under our stairs at home!), we thought "why not make that into a hot sauce?" It sounds odd, but it really works.

And our Spiced Cranberry Hot Honey gives traditional cranberry sauce a run for its money. It's a festive all-rounder, making the perfect dip for party food and I implore everyone who grabs a bottle to pour it in the centre of a baked camembert at some point!” Comments Pam Digva, Co-Founder of Sauce Shop®.

Julie Ashfield, who is MD of Buying at Aldi UK, says: “Our latest collaboration with Sauce Shop might be our most controversial yet. Love them or hate them, we're confident this unique hot sauce will win over even the most sprout averse.”

Both sauces are made using 100% natural ingredients, like all products in the Sauce Shop® range.

Also in the Aldi Specialbuys feature launching in over 1,000 stores on the 28th November 2024 is the Sauce Shop® Spicy Breakfast Sauce (£3.49, 320g), Sauce Shop® Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce (£3.49, 340g) and Sauce Shop® Tomato Ketchup (£3.49, 490g).

How to Make Your Own Glucose-Fructose Syrup-Free Candied Fruit Peel and Mince Pies for Christmas

The festive season is all about warmth, comfort, and indulgence, but it can also be a time to be more mindful of what we put into our bodies. 

Many traditional Christmas treats, like mince pies, often include glucose-fructose syrup, a common sweetener associated with various health issues. 

The good news is that you can easily make your own versions of these festive delights at home, free from over-processed sugars and packed with amazing natural ingredients.

In this blog post, I’ll guide you through making your own glucose-fructose syrup-free candied fruit peel and then using it to create delicious homemade mince pies. 

Both recipes are perfect for those looking to indulge in a healthier way this Christmas while still enjoying the classic flavours of the season.

Homemade Glucose-Fructose Syrup-Free Candied Fruit Peel

Candied citrus peel is a key ingredient in traditional mincemeat, adding a burst of flavour and texture. The problem with store-bought versions is that they often contain glucose-fructose syrup to extend shelf life. Making your own candied peel is surprisingly easy, and you’ll end up with a far superior product that’s free from unnecessary additives.

Ingredients

2 large oranges

2 large lemons

2 large unwaxed lemons (optional for variety)

300g granulated sugar

250ml water

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Method

Prepare the Citrus Peel: Wash the oranges and lemons thoroughly. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the peel in long strips, avoiding too much of the bitter white pith. Alternatively, you can score the fruit into quarters, then peel off the skin in chunks.

Blanch the Peel: Place the citrus peel in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then drain. Repeat this process twice more to remove any bitterness.

Make the Sugar Syrup: In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a simmer and let it bubble for 2-3 minutes.

Candy the Peel: Add the blanched peel to the sugar syrup and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peel becomes translucent.

Dry the Peel: Remove the peel from the syrup using a slotted spoon and lay it out on a wire rack to cool and dry. This can take a few hours or even overnight. If you like, you can roll the pieces in a bit of extra sugar for added sweetness.

Store: Once fully dried, store the candied peel in an airtight container. It will keep for up to a month and can be used in all your Christmas baking!

Homemade Glucose-Fructose Syrup-Free Mince Pies

Now that you’ve made your own candied fruit peel, it’s time to use it in a delicious, homemade mincemeat filling. These mince pies are free from glucose-fructose syrup and artificial additives, so you can enjoy them guilt-free.

For the Mincemeat Filling

200g raisins

150g currants

100g sultanas

100g dried cranberries

1 Bramley apple, peeled and finely chopped

100g homemade candied peel, chopped

100g dark brown sugar

1 tsp mixed spice

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

Zest and juice of 1 orange

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

75ml brandy (optional, or substitute with apple juice)

50g butter, melted

Method for the Mincemeat Filling

Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all the dried fruits, chopped apple, candied peel, sugar, spices, and citrus zest. Pour over the orange and lemon juice, along with the brandy or apple juice.

Add the Butter: Stir in the melted butter, mixing thoroughly to coat all the ingredients. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave it to sit overnight to allow the flavours to meld.

Cook the Mincemeat: Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let it cool before using or store in sterilised jars in the fridge for up to two weeks.

For the Pastry

300g plain flour

200g unsalted butter, cold and cubed

100g icing sugar

1 large egg yolk

2-3 tbsp cold water

Method for the Pastry

Make the Pastry: In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and icing sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Add the Egg Yolks: Mix in the egg yolk, then gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Chill the Dough: Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Pastry: Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) / 350°F / Gas Mark 4. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles and place them into a muffin or tart tin.

Assemble the Mince Pies: Fill each pastry case with a generous spoonful of mincemeat. Cut out smaller circles or star shapes for the tops and press them lightly onto each pie. Brush with a bit of beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serve: Dust with a light sprinkle of icing sugar before serving warm with a dollop of cream or brandy butter.

The Joy of Homemade Festive Treats

Making your own candied peel and mince pies from scratch is a rewarding way to bring the festive spirit into your home. Not only do you avoid the unnecessary additives found in store-bought products, but you also create treats that are bursting with flavour and made with love.

This Christmas, take a break from the hustle and bustle of the shops and enjoy the slower, more satisfying process of creating your own festive goodies. Your family and friends will taste the difference—and you’ll feel better knowing exactly what’s in every bite.

Happy baking, and may your Christmas be filled with warmth, joy, and delicious treats!

The Ultimate Way to Recycle for Christmas: Transforming Old Jewellery into Bespoke Gifts for the Loved ones in your life

The festive season is upon us, bringing with it the annual dilemma: finding that perfect gift for the people we love. 

But instead of joining the Christmas rush and picking up yet another mass-produced present, why not embrace a more meaningful approach this year? 

Imagine giving a gift that is not only unique but also imbued with personal history—a gift that symbolises love, creativity, and sustainability. The answer? Transform your old or broken jewellery into something truly bespoke.

Why Upcycling Jewellery is the Perfect Christmas Gift

There’s something magical about jewellery. It holds memories, marks milestones, and serves as a timeless token of affection. But what happens when these cherished pieces break, fall out of fashion, or simply languish in the depths of a drawer? Rather than letting them gather dust, why not breathe new life into them by taking them to a jeweller to be refashioned?

This creative recycling process transforms your sentimental pieces into new, one-of-a-kind items that can be cherished for years to come. And what better time to do this than at Christmas, a season that’s all about giving meaningful gifts and celebrating loved ones?

The Benefits of Upcycling Jewellery for Christmas

Sustainable Gifting: In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly important, recycling old jewellery is an eco-friendly way to celebrate the festive season. By choosing to upcycle rather than purchase something new, you’re reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable approach to gift-giving.

A Truly Unique Gift: Mass-produced jewellery lacks the personal touch that makes a gift truly special. By refashioning existing pieces, you create something that’s entirely bespoke and tailored to the recipient’s tastes. Imagine gifting a friend a ring made from the gemstones of an old brooch, or a pair of dazzling earrings crafted from a forgotten necklace.

Preserving Sentimental Value: Many of us have inherited jewellery that carries sentimental value but doesn’t quite suit our style. Instead of keeping these pieces hidden away, you can repurpose them into something that’s both modern and meaningful. It’s a wonderful way to honour family heirlooms while creating something new and beautiful.

Supporting Local Artisans: When you take your jewellery to a skilled jeweller, you’re not just getting a bespoke piece—you’re also supporting a local craftsperson. In an age of fast fashion, investing in the artistry of a local jeweller is a way to champion craftsmanship and creativity.

How to Get Started: The Process of Upcycling Jewellery

If the idea of turning old trinkets into new treasures has captured your imagination, here’s how to get started:

Gather Your Jewellery: Go through your jewellery box and set aside any broken pieces, outdated designs, or items you no longer wear. Consider pieces with sentimental value—old engagement rings, broken chains, or even single earrings missing their pair.

Find a Trusted Jeweller: Choose a local jeweller with experience in bespoke designs and upcycling projects. It’s essential to work with someone who understands your vision and can guide you through the creative process. Be sure to check their portfolio to get a sense of their style and craftsmanship.

Consultation and Design: Once you’ve chosen a jeweller, schedule a consultation. This is where the magic happens! Share your ideas and the story behind the pieces you’ve brought. The jeweller will help you brainstorm ways to transform the materials into something entirely new—a sleek pendant, a bold cocktail ring, or a delicate bracelet.

Enjoy the Transformation: After agreeing on the design, let the jeweller work their magic. The process may take a few weeks, so it’s best to start early to ensure your gift is ready in time for Christmas.

Presenting Your Bespoke Gift: The look on your loved one’s face when they receive a bespoke piece of jewellery made just for them is priceless. Knowing that it was once an old family heirloom or a piece from their past makes it even more special.

Ideas for Upcycled Jewellery Gifts

To inspire you, here are some creative ideas for upcycling your old jewellery:

Gemstone Earrings: Convert gemstones from broken rings or pendants into a stunning pair of earrings.

Charm Bracelets: Gather mismatched charms or small pendants and combine them into a bespoke charm bracelet.

Stackable Rings: Turn several old rings into a set of trendy stackable bands, each with a unique design.

Modern Pendants: Transform a large brooch or outdated necklace into a sleek, contemporary pendant that can be worn daily.

A Gift That Keeps on Giving

This Christmas, embrace the spirit of giving in a way that’s meaningful, sustainable, and uniquely personal. By transforming old or broken jewellery into bespoke gifts, you’re not just recycling—you’re creating something entirely new that holds sentimental value and lasting beauty.

So, why settle for something ordinary when you can give a gift that tells a story, celebrates craftsmanship, and contributes to a greener planet? This year, make your gifts truly unforgettable by upcycling jewellery and bringing joy to your loved ones with something that sparkles anew.

Happy gifting, and here’s to a Christmas filled with creativity, love, and a touch of sparkle!

How to give a meaningful gift, sensitively

Gift-giving is a beautiful way to show that you care, but sometimes, finding a gift with genuine meaning can feel daunting. 

While self-help or wellbeing books can be transformative gifts – and have a much longer impact than the usual socks or shower gel - they also require a delicate touch to ensure they’re received with the goodwill you intend. 

Here are some simple strategies for giving a thoughtful, wellbeing-focused gift that speaks to the heart—without stepping on toes.

Match the message to the moment

When choosing a gift like a self-help book, think carefully about the recipient's circumstances. Are they going through a challenging period, or perhaps juggling work-life demands? Select a book that feels relevant to their journey but is also uplifting. For example, if they’re often overworking, a book like The Emotional Overdraft that focuses on regaining balance without judgement could be a perfect fit. Be sure the book’s theme aligns with their life, making it feel like a gift given in support, not critique.

Personalise with purpose

Personalisation adds a touch of warmth to any gift. Try including a short, handwritten note with the book explaining why it made you think of them. Avoid statements that could feel critical; instead, lean towards affirmations. For instance, "I thought you might enjoy this book because it speaks to finding more space for the things you love. I hope you’ll find it as insightful as I did." This shows thoughtfulness and signals that the gift is intended to be empowering.

Pair with a thoughtful touch

Sometimes, a single book can feel daunting, especially if it covers topics like stress or wellbeing. Create a simple, thoughtful package with a few extra items to soften the message. For example, pair the book with a cosy blanket, a journal, or a small candle. These little additions create a sense of calm and self-care, reframing the book as part of a nurturing experience rather than a standalone message.

Choose the right moment

Timing matters when giving meaningful gifts. Present the book in a way that feels natural rather than staged. Rather than making it the centrepiece of a big Christmas holiday gift exchange, consider a quieter moment, perhaps during a coffee catch-up or a private Christmas Eve exchange. By sharing the gift in a relaxed setting, you give them space to take in the thought behind it.

Frame the gift as an invitation, not a prescription

When introducing a gift like a wellbeing book, avoid language that suggests it’s something they "need." Instead, frame it as something you thought might be valuable or enjoyable. For example, "This book has some amazing insights that I thought you might connect with—it’s really helped me in balancing the busy day-to-day." This subtle approach lets them engage with the book in their own way, without feeling pressured.

Follow up gently, if at all

Once the gift is given, allow the recipient to come to it in their own time. If they bring it up in conversation, you can discuss the parts you both enjoyed, but avoid checking in on their "progress." Allow them the space to absorb it at their own pace.

Meaningful gifting: A thoughtful way to show you care

Giving a gift that supports someone’s wellbeing can be a deeply thoughtful gesture, especially when approached with sensitivity. Self-care books can be powerful tools for growth and reflection, so don’t shy away from offering a little inspiration to those you care about. With the right approach, your gift can feel like a gentle reminder that they’re loved and supported—an invaluable sentiment any time of year.
