October 29, 2020

We LOVE Hellish Relish. Made in BC by Heather Bottoms and just like her, it’s sweet, sassy, and a little bad-assy. Hellish Relish is a moreish mixture of fresh seasonal chili peppers and onions, cooked up with mustard seed, vinegar, salt and a sprinkle of sugar to create a sweet and sassy taste sensation that you can enjoy on almost anything! Get ready for a Halloween that is Hellish(ly Relishly delicious)!
