Hot sauce recommendations

Tjohn, if you have access to a juicer, your experience with fresh fruits and vegetables, even peppers, can be much improved. I made a hot sauce before with fresh made pepper juice, and the taste is unlike anything you can find. I had bought the juicer just for that, and it was well worth it. But my juicer isn’t working now. I need to get it fixed. :cry:

Thanks DavidEF…
Started using a blender a couple of weeks ago to add tomato puree, but hadn’t thought about fruit. It’s Mango season now, the trees are loaded around here, the fruit so abundant it is going to waste. Giant pineapples are 50cents, picked one up this morning, it’s destiny is certain……gonna get added to a batch of sizzle sauce already in the fridge. Chutney is great!

Yep it’s my go to! I tend to blend Ms Renfro with some chi-chis hot salsa. Mellow it out a tad.

Not sure you can buy this outside of Oz but loving this at the moment

Not overly potent but smells and tastes great

It's a cold smoked Jalapeno sauce

If you're in OZ, try it

That definitely sounds interesting! I’ve wanted to try making something like that myself, but haven’t gotten into making hot sauces.

I do cold smoke jalapeno peppers, then dehydrate and grind into powder and mix with salt. It’s delicious, with a unique flavor and just a bit of heat. I’ve eaten it on just about everything, including popcorn and potato chips.

I’ve been saving Cholula bottles though; when I get enough, I want to try making a batch of a smoky fire-roasted jalapeno hot sauce.

Not a sauce and really not in to hot myself…but tI ry to incorporate a few of these chips as often as I remember in to my diet to boost metabolism (if this itself isn’t an old wive’s tale):
Often $2 on clearance (date is always good) and makes a tasty base for pickling other items after the chips are gone: Robot or human?

Neighbor also loves them gifted for his famous bloody marys…

There is no Buffalo wings without Franks .

I buy the spears...

and love 'em!

This thread is gold, thanks for sharing all the bits on sauces.

On it, boss. Thank you!

No worries mate….you’ll love it I’m sure

Because I put hot sauce on so much of my food, my sister bought me...

Jack Link's Valentine's Day Hot Sauce Set!

(She got it the day after Valentine's Day for half off.)

So now I have a bunch of new hot sauce to try!

I’ve always appreciated a savory heat sauce . I’m close to the Smoky mountains, amd in Gatlinburg TN there is a store called Pepper Palace that specializes in hot sauce. My Dad collects full bottles (WTH, Dad?).

My go-to is a proprietary sauce from a restaurant called The Egg and I. Their house sauce can be bought for $7ish dollars. The ingredients are roasted red jalapenos and vinegar. That’s all! It is delicious on everything except Cheerios.

As a similar function, I add Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning to most foods, too. It is added in proportion to salt and pepper.

Once upon a time, on a day trip to Gatlinburg, my Dad ecouraged me to man-up and try the sauce marked XXX under a glass cover at Pepper Palace. It burned for over 3 hours and burned my then-GF’s lips when I kissed her a couple hours later. Dunno what brand that insane sauce was, but I learned that my Dad enjoys my misery a little lol.

I looked for XXX on the Pepper Palace website, and came up with nothing, so it’s not a brand name. Probably just one of their hottest sauces under a generic “mystery” label. Pepper Palace is where I got my The End hot sauce, that can certainly do what you described and maybe worse, depending how much you stick in your mouth. I mix a couple drops in with a 5oz bottle of Cholula and use that on everything. It’s plenty hot for me that way, and Cholula has a nice pepper flavor which is also enhanced a little by those drops of The End added to it.

Unno, have you ever tried it on Cheerios? Hm?

You don’t know what you’re missing…

I tried the Cayenne hot sauce, and the flavor didn't impress me.

I do like the little bottles.

I'll try a different one next time.

Well, I wasn’t going to say anything. But since you said it first - I’ve found that those gift set hot sauces are usually very watered down in flavor. They literally taste to me like somebody diluted them with plain water. But… it’s the thought that counts, right? :stuck_out_tongue:

That's a thoughtful gift .

maybe she's trying to kill you slowly :P

I have tried all five flavors once.

I kinda liked the Garlic, and Jalapeño.

I think the problem is that I don't generally like vinegar-based hot sauce.

Reaper bump!

Was gifted a bottle of this and I’m floored!

I’ve always like a lot of spicy/ethnic foods, but have never been into hot sauces beyond Frank’s, Tabasco variants, and Pickapeppa at home. Feels like I just discovered a whole new frontier. :slight_smile: :+1:
