Buddha Bill’s Peach Habanero Hot Sauce Review

Carl — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:26:37 +0000

Buddha Bill’s Tequila Lime Hot Sauce is a recent discovery and a favorite of mine. That’s why I was surprised and happy as hell to see Buddha Bill’s Peach Habanero Hot Sauce. I really love shaken’ those peaches, especially with my hot sauces, so I opened this one with a big grin on my face, ready to enjoy the fruit and heat combination. I didn’t expect the heat to be too intense, of course, since most of the peach and pepper combos I’ve had the pleasure of ingesting are usually quite mild. While Buddha Bill’s Peach Habanero Hot Sauce is by no means one of those sauces that will make you blow fire from the rear exit, it is quite a bit warmer than most other peach and pepper combinations I’ve had the pleasure of sampling. Peaches, orange habanero peppers, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, and brown sugar are the ingredients that come together in this beautifully crafted peach-colored sauce. Pour some on a spoon and take a taste to get the full effect before combining it with anything else. Let the mild peachy keen taste touch your tongue before the heat begins to settle in and make its through your chest and down into your belly. Not enough heat to have you reaching for something to cool you down, but enough to let you know that there are some hot peppers at work here. Both the peachy taste and the heat stick with you, linger like a wet dream, and then slowly dissipate, leaving you wanting more. There are plenty of pepper pieces and seeds in here to add some texture and visual appeal as well.

I deep fried some chicken wings and used this sauce as a dip. You could bake the wings in your oven and paint this stuff on for the last ten minutes just to get a nice coat for flavor. While the peach and pepper combo here is intense, nothing about this sauce will overpower your food. The balance is perfect and you’ll find that your Buddha Bill wings are some of the best you’ve ever had. If you enjoy fruity heat but like something that leans a little more toward the hot side of town, Buddha Bill’s Peach Habanero Hot sauce is a must-have on your shelf.

Bee Sting Honey ‘n’ Habanero Pepper Sauce Review

Carl — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:38:00 +0000

Two of my favorite combinations are sweet and heat.Honey is one of the finest ingredients you can combine with peppers to give you this exquisite combination. Short of walking into a hive full of bees, Bee Sting Honey ‘n’ Habanero Hot Sauce is one of the best ways to get the taste of honey with the bite of a habanero pepper. My first impulse when I twist the cap off this stuff is to pour it on a spoon and take it straight. In fact, this sauce is excellent (not kidding here) for someone who has a cold. Forget the cough syrup. Bee Sting Honey ‘n’ Habanero soothes the throat and helps open the sinus cavities and it tastes a lot better than cough syrup. I wouldn’t lie to you. This isn’t something I could make up. There’s another way I use this sauce. I started by accident. It makes a great pancake syrup. The honey provides the sweetness you expect from a pancake syrup and the habaneros give your cakes a nice little kick.

Bee Sting Honey ‘n’ Habanero is a thick sauce (though it still pours well) with a rich honey color and lots of slivers of bright orange habanero throughout. Onions, lemon juice, cayenne peppers, black pepper, and cane vinegar are also part of the cast of characters that makes this sauce work for its money. It clings nicely to whatever you pour it on, making it an ideal glaze, particularly for a holiday ham. It also makes a nice side dip. If you’re planning a party and want to introduce your guests to something with a bit of a kick while not overloading them with heat, Bee Sting is a good choice. All but the weakest of your guests will be able to handle this heat and the sweetness of the honey will work well with a variety of finger foods. Needless to say, painting it on your chicken wings is also a must. Grab a bottle and get stung.

Hot Sauce Dangers

Chris — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 19:49:15 +0000

Some people have questioned whether hot sauce or the hot peppers can be a danger to you. Peppers as a whole are not dangerous to you. They have plenty of vitamins and health benefits. What can get to you is the Capsaicin. Capsaicin is potent oil, but there is no medical evidence that it is unhealthy for your body by consuming it in a sauce or in your food.

The effect you can get from this oil that is harmful to you is the burning from the oil found in very hot peppers like Habaneros, Ghost Peppers and similar very hot fruits. For someone that is not used to eating very hot foods, you can get extreme burning on your tongue and in your mouth. The oil can also give someone digestive effects in your intestines and stomach and cause severe upset.

Capsaicin can aggravate preexisting ulcers and digestive disorders, so those suffering from any kind of digestive difficulty need to proceed with caution. There have been many concerns that hot peppers cause ulcers. This has been shown to be not true as the capsaicin actually helps prevent ulcers as it helps the stomach build up bile and kills unwanted bacteria.

One other side effect can come after cleaning the hot peppers. The oil can remain on your hands and should you touch your eyes or face, you can feel a high level of pain, including blistering of the skin in more severe cases. Make sure to wear gloves and wash your hands with soap and water after use.

In the old days you used to hear of parents giving their children hot sauce to ingest for cursing or doing something bad (like washing their mouths out with soap type of deal) and it is highly advised that parents do not use hot sauce as a punishment tool in regards to children. The pepper oils and juice can cause severe stomach issues and burning on their delicate tongue and mouth for quite a while after eating it.

Habanero Pepper Salad Dressing Recipe

Chris — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 01:16:13 +0000

Salads and lettuce can be a bland, tasteless vegetable without the addition of some flavoring and spice to your dish. Some lettuces do have a bit of a bite to them like Arugula, but for the most part, it is up to the creator of the salad to bring in the flavor. For those that love some heat, here is a great recipe to kick up your next salad.

Habanero Pepper Salad Dressing Recipe

You do need gloves on when handling the habanero pepper and refrain from touching your eyes or face.

To make the Habanero Pepper Salad Dressing, you will need 2 small Habanero peppers, 1/2 cup light virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, dash of black pepper and a dash of salt.

You will want to wash your peppers and remove the stems. Cut the pepper into strips and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the pepper strips into a blender along with the extra light virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, black pepper and salt. Cover the blender container and process until smooth. Use it immediately on any garden style salad and refrigerate leftovers which will keep for up to 3 days.

What a great addition to your next salad! Next time you are in the mood for something spicy and full of flavor, give this one a try. I am thinking this might be good as a marinade too.
