product description

BARKERS PEAR AND FIG RELISH (260g)

The Relish That Belongs on Every Cheese Board

Soft, gently sweet, and beautifully fruited, the Barkers Pear and Fig Relish is the kind of condiment that makes a cheese board look and taste genuinely considered. Crafted in New Zealand by Barkers of Geraldine from a delightful fusion of fig, apple, and pear with a gentle hint of chilli warmth, this vibrant relish offers a burst of freshness and versatility that makes it a must-have on any grazing platter no matter the occasion. Elegant enough for entertaining, easy enough for a quick weekday snack, and delicious enough to eat straight from the jar with a spoon.

Flavour Profile

Gently sweet and warmly fruity with the soft, jammy depth of fig at 15%, the fresh, delicate sweetness of pear at 10%, and the rounded fruitiness of apple forming a generous, layered base. Tomato and onion add a subtle savoury earthiness that grounds the fruit sweetness beautifully, cider vinegar brings a clean, balancing acidity, and a gentle touch of chilli provides just enough warmth to keep every mouthful interesting without overwhelming the delicate fruit character. The result is a relish that is fresh, vibrant, and quietly sophisticated.

How to Use It

The Pear and Fig Relish is the natural partner for a cheese board, working brilliantly alongside both hard and soft cheeses where its gentle sweetness and fruity depth complement rather than compete. Spread it over a pizza base in place of tomato sauce for a beautifully fruited base that pairs wonderfully with blue cheese, walnuts, and rocket. For a simple but genuinely impressive quick snack, spread it over toast with fresh ricotta for a combination that is elegant, satisfying, and ready in minutes. Refrigerate after opening.

Recipes and Serving Ideas Where Barkers Pear and Fig Relish Shines

Pear and Fig Relish is the condiment that elevates a simple Cheese and Cracker Board into something guests genuinely linger over, its gentle fruitiness pairing magnificently with aged cheddar, brie, blue cheese, and creamy goat’s cheese alike. It makes a stunning base for a Fig and Pear Relish Pizza topped with blue cheese, caramelised onion, and fresh rocket, a combination that is deeply satisfying and surprisingly easy. Serve it alongside a Grilled Pork Chop or Lamb Cutlet for a beautifully fruited condiment that balances the richness of the meat with gentle sweetness. For an effortlessly impressive entertaining bite, top a Ricotta Crostini with a generous spoonful for an elegant, flavour-forward appetiser that disappears instantly.
