Pickapeppa Sauce, also known as Jamaican ketchup,[1] is a brand-name
Jamaicancondiment, the main product of the Pickapeppa Company, founded in 1921. It is made in Shooters Hill, Jamaica, near
Mandeville.[2] The ingredients (in order on the product label) are
cane vinegar, sugar, tomatoes, onions, raisins, sea salt, ginger,
peppers, garlic, cloves, black pepper, thyme, mangoes, and orange peel, aged in oak barrels.[3] The sauce is sweet, sour, and mildly spicy. The company makes several variants of the sauce, including mango and extra-hot
Scotch bonnet pepper varieties.[4]
One traditional use of the sauce is to pour it over a block of
cream cheese, to be spread on crackers.[5]
