Mixed Berry Apocalypse- Blueberries, Raspberries and Strawberries balance the wicked heat of the Farm Truck Fire pepper mash- definitely a skull and crossbones sauce. The fruity/hot profile is reminiscent of the Raspberry Reaper and the Scorpion Bowl and has a similar heat scale. MBA
Vampire's Valentine- Picture Check out the ad we made for this one! This bright sauce is a staple of the yearly Valentine's Box. It's got tons of beets, roasted garlic and just a hint of ginger added to the award winning Stone Soup Hot Pepper Mash. Brilliant color and flavor with a habanero bite. Use this to make a startlingly purple chicken or a glorious hummus. VV
Everything is JUST PEACHY- Picture This was sauce #2 in this year's Valentine's Box. You guessed it, it's full of peaches. Our signature apple cider vinegar and apple cider syrup balances out sets a habanero bite. EJP
Chocolate Maple Pecan- Picture This was sauce #3 in this year's Valentine's Box. Purees of heirloom tomatoes, peaches and pears, along with our go-to apple cider vinegar and apple cider syrup, make up the base and let the the unsweetened chocolate and cocoa, pecan flour and maple syrup shine through. This one's a funky dessert hot sauce! CMP
For Whom the Bell Tolls- IT'S BACK! Available as the Sauce of the Month right now, it'll move to the Secret Menu until it sells out (absolutely guaranteed to happen). This year's batch is heavier on the Ghost peppers and a bit lighter on the Scorps and Scotch Bonnets, seems a bit sharper to me, reminiscent of The Most Ghost (there's a blast from the past) we'll keep this one a 12 on the 2-15 heat scale. FWTBT
Blackberry Lime Rickey- More frequently than you might credit, something serendipitous influences the flow of the sauce. A case in point, a nationally known food retailer that is not to be named rejected a shipment of blackberries and we were in a position to salvage them. Some judicious sorting resulted in several gallons of glorious blackberry puree. Dark, rich berry flavor and color with strong citrus notes, very refreshing. We made a version of this years ago and it won first place in a cocktail making contest, if I remember correctly the bartender used frozen melon balls as ice cubes- that's worth the price of admission right there. Made with the habanero version of Stone Soup Pepper Mash, there is a quick heat spike, settling down quickly- we'll call it a 6 on the 2-15 scale. To alarm the traditionalists this holiday season try stirring some into your nog or make purple royal icing for the sugar cookies. This is a sauce to be enjoyed now, blackberry based sauces seem to fade as time goes by, so avoid long term storage. BLR

Bell (Bottom) Blues- Picture A heavy habanero version of Dragon's Blood Elixir, this will have close to three times as much pepper mash. It won't have the quick, sharp scorpion pepper/scotch bonnet/seven pot bite, the floral fruity paper lantern habanero flavor will be the player. Fire Roasted Tomato and Roasted Apples round out the flavor. BBB

Frosty Morning Salsa Verde Picante- A hotter version of our sassy Peter Piper's Pickled Pepper sauce made with the peppers that didn't ripen.

(It was a 6 on the 2-15 heat scale, but it's popped up to an 8 by the ginger).
Seriously Sassy Citrus- An over the top citrus sauce with a lot of local produce as texture, a very reputable scorpion, datil, golden ghost, scotch bonnet and seven pot heat scale with a strong ginger finish.

We'll rate this one a 6 on the 2-15 heat scale.
Avocado Wasabi- Frequently, as a sauce gets built in the pot, I find that it needs 'something extra' to make it complete. That little something isn't always reflected in the description, heat scale can definitely be an issue. This one will be made with the vibrant Salsa Verde Piquante Mash and enough Wasabi to make your eyes water, no subtlety here. The addition of buttery smooth Avocado will act as soother coupled with a tart and spicy Tomatillo Chutney at the finish. This came out spectacularly! I rate it a 9 on the 2-15 heat scale, there won't be a dry eye in the house.
A note on wasabi- we've always used the green horseradish powder that sushi restaurants rely on, the cool green color is actually a dye. This year we grew a Wasabi Daikon Radish which appears to be naturally green.
