Picked up Heartbreaking Dawns Lemon Aji Pepper Glaze at this years Fiery Foods Festival in Columbus, Ohio for one reason and one reason only; it’s made with Aji Lemon peppers. Ever since I grew them last year, I’ve been kind of obsessed with that strain. Awesome flavor, medium heat, and the flowers of C. baccatum [...]

This review is long overdue and has been in the works since November. I met the fine folks from Crazy Uncle Jester’s at this last years Weekend of Fire where they proceeded to light me up in short order with their sauces. They were kind enough to donate a whole box of some of their [...]

It’s been almost a year since I reviewed a product from Flaming Joe’s so I picked up their newest jam for analysis. This is called Strawberry Jalapeno Jam and looks to be packed with strawberry goodness. Flaming Joe’s Strawberry Jalapeno Jam Ingredients: Sugar, strawberries, Jalapeno peppers, pectin (dextrose, pectin, turmeric acid, calcium citrate), dehydrated orange [...]

Hot on the tail feather’s of Devil Duck’s review of Flaming Joe’s Jerk Sauce comes my review of one of Flaming Joe’s products. I received a can of his Island Fire Tropical Fruit & Habanero Marmalade at Jungle Jim’s and I will say that he’s hit a home run with this one. Flaming Joe’s Island [...]

Our pals over at Zane and Zack’s World Famous Honey Company are at it again! Last time I had the pleasure of reviewing two of their gourmet sauces and now I get to do it again but with a slight twist. Not only did I receive their new gourmet sauce, Tina’s Too Hot Honey-Habanero, but [...]

A month or so ago the great guys over at Zane & Zack’s World Famous Honey Company sent me along their two products for review. It came with a great letter and an instruction set on how to use the sauces and on what to use them on. Right away they get high marks for [...]

We were pretty pumped to get a jar of Passow’s pepper jam in the mail recently. It both looks and smell amazing. Very red and very pepper-y, I went back to basics in terms of what to try this jam out with to give it a proper tasting. The solution? PB & J, bay-bee! Here’s [...]

I’ve been putting this off for far too long. After getting finally re-inspired by Chuk Hell’s successful attempt at pepper jam, I finally did it. I used Chuk’s recipe as a template and I went a pepper picking in the garden.

What better way to prime us for starting to get into hot & spicy jams & jellies than to start with one which was homemade by our very own Chuk Hell. We knew that Chuk makes some amazing hot sauces and salsas, but we didn’t know that he did jams as well. Would Chuk be [...]
