Purchased this next one from the good ol’ folks at Torchbearer Sauces. I always enjoy an excellent dessert sauce and was specifically looking for that when I went to their booth at the Weekend of Fire in August. After trying a sample, I knew this was the one I’ve been looking for.

Torchbearer Sauce Sugar Fire Ingredients: Papaya, mango, mandarin oranges, Habanero peppers, sugar, and other all-natural spices.

The color is a slight off yellow with the occasional fleck of red and pepper seed or two. As for the consistency I’m going to liken it to baby food puree with a a few sparse chunks of fruit. The taste? Actually, I know this may sound bad, but it’s kind of like a gourmet version of fruit baby food with a little kick. I know, I know, baby food’s for babies! Well, I have allergies and so does my mom and we both will eat pureed fruit baby food from time to time with a meal at work because it never gives us problems and it tastes GREAT!

Both the papaya and mango fight over who comes on the palette first and continue to flip flop for dominance. Up next comes the mandarin oranges….such cute little things, they are the midgets of the orange world. Rounding it off is the fruity taste of Habaneros. Not sure what “all natural spices” they use because I can’t taste anything other than the above mentions although there is just a slight lingering taste that I can’t put my finger on…. I also don’t taste the sugar, just the natural sweetness of the fruits which is an excellent bonus as I can see this not working as an over the top sugary sauce. The heat on this is extremely mild but it is there. Just a slight back of the throat tingle, even after about 5 straight spoonfuls.

I had to be careful with this one after I opened it. I was constantly forcing myself to not eat all of it in one setting since I needed to do my usual routine with it for a review. This sauce is so good and mild that you literally can eat the whole thing with a spoon in one setting without any problems. Simply amazing, and a great label too, I’ve always enjoyed that about their company.

Taste: 9.5, Heat: 1.73
