Things I Like in a Jar...

Yes, sometimes I'm in a pinch and reach for a jar...  I admit it.  However, I stick to preparations that have no chemicals, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, flavours, or colours.

One brand that I am particularly fond of is Patak's.  I use the curries as marinades (as below), or in slow cooked lamb or chicken stews.  They range in temperature from mild to hot, and have a really nice balance of tangy flavour and spice.

Perfect for a quick, post-vacation BBQ...
