Tracklements: A Must-Have for Dads

For those of us who love to elevate our cooking without too much fuss, Tracklements’ new Special Edition Shallot & Garlic Jam is a winner.

This jam is packed with rich, savoury flavours that come from slow-cooked shallots and mellow garlic purée. It delivers a delightful sweetness balanced perfectly with a gentle warmth from a hint of red chilli – ideal for adding a kick to your meals.

The jam’s base of raw cane sugar and balsamic vinegar creates a beautifully sticky, caramelised depth, while a splash of cider vinegar offers a lovely touch of acid to balance the flavours. A pinch of sea salt and a sprinkle of black pepper round it all off, ensuring it’s well-balanced and sophisticated enough for any family dinner.

Imagine slathering this delectable addition over your meat or veggie burgers, slapping it on steaks or chops, or pairing it with halloumi for an instant gourmet upgrade. One standout recipe is stuffing a chicken breast with a generous teaspoon of this Shallot & Garlic Jam, mixing in some cream cheese and fresh herbs, wrapping it all in Parma ham, and popping it in the oven for a hearty midweek feast.

But it doesn’t stop there; it’s also fantastic on bruschetta. Spread it over toasted sourdough, adding some ricotta or whipped feta on top, and you’ve got a crowd-pleaser that will impress even the pickiest eaters. It’s also excellent for giving a sweet-savoury twist to creamy pastas, stews, or homemade pizzas. And let’s not overlook its transformative magic on a cheeseboard, particularly with tangy cheeses like Caerphilly.

Available for an RRP of £3.95 for a 190g jar, this jam is easily found in fine food delis and farm shops across the UK, as well as online.

Tracklements also has a brilliant new range of gift packs that make for fantastic stocking fillers this season, perfect for the foodie dads in the family. The 12 Days of Tracklements gift pack, priced at £25, is vegetarian and gluten-free and includes a generous selection of tangy and sweet condiments.

For festive gatherings, the Tracklements Christmas Cracker is a collection of three of their best sellers for £11.40, while the Farmers Market Gift Pack offers classic condiments for £13.80. Both are vegan and gluten-free, so there’s something for everyone.

In a nutshell, Tracklements’ products are essential for any dad looking to spice up his culinary game. Grab a jar (or three) and give your meals that gourmet edge everyone will love!
