Have you had Peppadew peppers before? They're sweet pickled versions of a bite-sized, mildly spicy-sweet pepper called the Juanita, or sweet piquanté. If you've ever wished a sweet gherkin pickle had a little more complexity, you'd love a Peppadew.

When stuffed with soft cheese and wrapped in a slice of bacon they make an irresistible hors d'oeuvre for your cocktail party, or a fun snack for any time of year.
