Our Ears Are Burning!

Have you ever heard that old expression that if your ears are burning someone’s talking about you? Well, our ears are heating up as more and more people discover our line of gourmet sauces. Here is a recent mention made by a condiment conniseur: Jerk Sauce Flavor Review.

 

Can I Substitute Ingredients In Kilimanjaro Recipes?

“Is it alright to substitute ingredients?” We sometimes get this question from people we share our recipes with and, though substituting ingredients is always a matter of personal taste and preference, we highly recommend that our sauces be used with our recipes since we crafted them around our signature gourmet sauces.

Our Ginger Syrup, Jerk Sauce, Brown Sugar Syrup and Palava Sauce all have very unique flavor profiles and each recipe is designed to use those flavor profiles to their fullest. Other sauces and syrups don’t use the same ingredients, aren’t composed the same way and, therefore, don’t taste the same. So if you find some of our recipes interesting, please make sure to use the Kilimanjaro sauce or syrup mentioned in the recipe for maximum flavor.
