Very nice but...

Firstly I love the fact that there are no preservatives, and thickeners and stabilizers etc. for that reason alone I'll continue to get stuff from Wickedfood, in relation to this relish, the only complaint is that the taste is 90% aubergine, not a whole lot of plum coming through, which could also be due to availability etc. but it needs that tart sweetness from the plums. maybe you could add other suitable stone fruit to balance out the aubergine a bit more. Still great though.

The other relish I bought the roasted chilli red pepper and aubergine is on another level, I'd give it 6 out of 5 if possible. It not hot but the taste is sublime, simply the best relish I have had in many years!
