The Short Version:
Small business in PEI that makes salsas and preserves. Their Blueberry Hot Pepper Jelly is fantastic.
The Long Version:
My husband's family has roots in the Maritimes, so they often travel out east. My sister-in-law went to PEI and brought us back a jar of Hot Pepper Jelly from Souris Sauces. I checked the website for the price to report in this review, lol. It was $9.
She got us the "Bluefin Berry" flavour. I'm not sure why it's called that and not "Blueberry" because it's blueberry-flavoured. The main ingredients are bell peppers, sugar, jalapeno and blueberries.
It's really tasty, mostly sweet with a mild spicy kick. I love using it on crackers topped with thinly sliced cucumbers.
The business is relatively new, established in 2019. I like that they use natural ingredients and grow their own fruits and vegetables used in their products (without pesticides).
I'm uncertain if I will ever be out in West Souris to visit their farm and shop in person, as West Souris is quite a trek from Charlottetown (where we stay when visiting PEI). Fortunately, their products are sold in certain stores in Charlottetown and also online.
I love trying small batch artisan items and the hot pepper jelly from Souris Sauces was definitely a winner!
