Great write up guys! I too have gotten a lot of his products and am going through the long process of testing for my review right now.

I bleed Scarlet and Gray.

You should see a doctor about that, I think it’s a sign of iron deficiency…

Scott,

We were asked by some customers to “thin it up a little”. We experimented with a thinner version of the sauce…more like a chocolate syrup than a fudge sauce. Some of those jars were distributed to PepperHeads and beta testers for their review at WOF.

The sauce is heated with habaneros. We juice them and reduce the juice significantly. It will occasionally rise to the surface like oil from natural peanut butter. If you shake well, as it states on the jar, before serving the essential habanero oils will redistribute.

You and those who receive your gifts must be delighted, or we’ll make it right! Uncle Jester guarantees your product order 100%…even if you just don’t like it. Simply return the unused portion and we’ll give you your money back!

That’s as good as being able to taste a free sample. We want you to be satisfied with every order you place with us, and we back it up.

I look forward to hearing from you if you have any other concerns. Thanks for the FYI.

Great posting on CUJ’s. I think that extra T is a trademark symbol that didn’t get formatted correctly, perhaps?

Anyway, when CUJ is good, they’re great. But when they miss, well…

I’m nuts about about their mustard and BBQ sauce. Good heat and great complexity of flavor.

Everyone has raved about the Afterburner sauce, and when I tried it at the WOF I loved it. But out of my jars at home, there’s some kind of weird, chemical-like flavor in them. And there was an oily film covering the sauce when opened. I heard that there was a bad batch of Afterburner, and that some of us at WOF got jars from it.

The real “Crazy” thing about Crazy Uncle Jester’s is their diversity of products. Chocolate sauce, jelly, mustard, Jamaican hot sauce, extract hot sauce(I was originally told that both Select Reserve & Spontaneous Combustion), plus they have a funky style bbq sauce. There isn’t a trend they follow except to make overly spicy products. I love the Jamaican Hellfire product and when I wrote my TTF review on the Afterburner sauce, I called it the product of the year. I haven’t changed from that. The mustard and bbq sauce are so different than the norm for those type of products, but once you start using it, you think there is cocaine in there because you keep returning for more. At first I didn’t like them so much, but after some experimenting I become a fanT. Not sure what the extra T is for, but I am onboard.
