Peppadew® peppers are from South Africa. I occasionally find them in grocery stores with larger deli sections. They come in mild and hot, I use the mild. One could substitute pickled cherry peppers, but these do have a unique taste. The recipe is from the company's webpage, with some adaptations and using non-metric measurements.
