The sweetness was masked, so I went in search of those divine peppadews. No such thing I guess. Very disappointing. (Heck, I even saw some on a salad bar, and sugar wasn't listed. I got one, tried it, and yuck.) Oh wait! My daughter's friend brought some peppadews to her. She claimed they weren't sweet, but, yes, they were. I dumped some vinegar in with them and they have been macerating for a long time now. Maybe I will remember to check them out. -- |

I THINK the sweetness of the peppadews was just totally masked by the lemon that was also in the pasta salad that I adored. I sure can't find any piquant peppadews. It's a pity, because I really thought they were great until I had them unadorned. -- |
