Win a Hamper from Stokes Sauces – Closed

407 Comments

On recent trip to Tesco I noticed a new kid on the block in the sauce aisle, Stokes, and decided I needed to find out more. From their web site I found out that Essfoods produce an award winning range of quality mayonnaises, sauces, mustards, relishes, chutneys, dressings, jams and marmalades, within the Stokes and Suffolk Mud brands.

The “Saucery”

Founded in 2004 (Essfoods) and manned by 22 staff, their products are hand produced in small batches in a small, yet highly productive factory unit in the heart of rural Suffolk. Quality and taste are achieved by using only the finest ingredients and as animal welfare is high on their agenda they only use Freedom Food free range egg in their mayonnaise and mayonnaise based products. Their aim is always to produce the best tasting preserved sauce you can buy in a jar. Stokes sauces are available from farm shops, deli’s and food stores as well as their own web site. Stokes sauces retail from about £2.75 to £3.98.

With this in mind I just had to get in touch with Stokes and asked if they would let me sample their products. Well I received a lovely hamper of products which I am slowly sampling and cooking with. Before I post a recipe and review, I thought I should share my good fortune by giving you the opportunity to win your own hamper. Yes Stokes have kindly agreed to send a hamper to one of my readers containing the following products:

Lemon Curd

Bloody Mary Ketchup

Red Onion Marmalade

Blushed Tomato Mayonnaise

Chilli Yellow Pepper Jelly

French Dressing

BBQ Sauce

When my grandparents were still alive I would always put a hamper of lovely products together for them for Christmas. It’s always nice to have something a little bit different and special when it comes to food. So if you’re doing the same this Christmas for a loved one, keep an eye out for Stokes as I’m sure they won’t disappoint!

    I think my favourite has to be Worcester sauce just for its versatility…I use it in just about everything 🙂

    Good old Bread Sauce with the Turkey – milk that’s had an onion stuck with cloves infused in it, breadcrumbs & a twist of salt & pepper

    love cranberry sauce with roast turkey – I don’t like gravy with my food so really enjoy the flavour of a good cranberry sauce.

    What a lovely selection. Haven’t spotted these in my local tesco, hopefully be available soon.

      I’ve only seen the ketchups and one other sauce so far in Tesco, but independant retailers and farm shops are probably your best bet!

    Boring – but mayonnaise as you can adapt it to every meal by adding spices, chili, garlic etc

    I make all my own preserves jams and chutneys but my favourite is marmalade with crystalised ginger – it is wonderful and when I sell it on the PTFA stall it is the first to sell out!!

    I found this fantastic sauce when I was in Indonesia which was chilli and garlic and they put it on their chips!!

    I absolutely love XO Sauce which is a spicy seafood sauce from Hong Kong. It’s delicious and I could it eat with anything!

    Outrageous ! HP sauce is now made in Holland and seems sweeter and with less bite.

    Stokes Brown Sauce is the new bacon sarnie champion by a kilometer.

    Red pepper jelly. I think you’re supposed to have it with cold meats or cheese. but I just make a sarnie with it as if it were jam!

    My favourite condiment has to be lime curd, the same citrusy flavour as lemon card but more intense, perfect spread thinly on toast.

    I have two favourites, Branston Pickle and Hellmans Mayo, which I would have with everything if I could.

    I do love lemon curd but I think mayonnaise is my favourite as you can glam up so many things with it, especially the turkey sandwiches!

    Stokes Ketchup and Brown Sauce both taste amazing, I would love to try some of their other products 🙂

    I make jelly from the champagne grapes that my father in law grows, its fantastic with christmas dinner, turkey etc and gorgeous with cold meats. But it works equally well as a sweet spread of scones and cakes.

    I find liquid smoke useful in a variety of stews, slow roast and gravies and surprised it isn’t recommended more often

    I LOVE my home-made blackcurrant jam made from our own organic bushes. From bush to jam in a couple of hours it’s delicious!

    Lovely prize 🙂 My favourite sauce this time of the year has to be Branston Pickle. One the Chritmas goodies get opened, I get through jars of it with cheese and cold meats 😛

    I love the American yellow mustard. Especially nice with hotdogs, burgers and sausages. Yum.

    Apricot compote – but no longer available in my local shops. Last time I was able to get hold of it was in Belgium.

    I am intrigued by the Blushed Tomato Mayonnaise and would love to be fortunate to win these goodies.

    OOh tough question. Mustard and Ploughmans Pickle would be in the top 5 but I would have to say HP brown sauce? A bacon butty would just not be the same without it.

    I adore lemon curd – I got addicted to it when preganat with my two girls (with the boys it was cherry tomatoes lol) I ate nothing but lemon curd, lemon curd tarts, lemon cheese cake, lemon flavoured ice lollies, lemon mousse, yogurt, lemon bon bons, sherbet lemons, …… and drank gallons of Fanta Lemon lol!
