Seeing as you are more than likely a human being (we see you, Cromulax), you have a predilection for sugar. You can deny it all you like but we'd be willing to put money down that there is some sweet confection out there you can't turn down. Are you an ice cream guy? Are you they type of lady that craves salted caramel at 9PM every night? Could you down an entire sleeve of Thin Mints during a single episode of Golden Girls?
It's ok! We are simply built this way and while some of you have turned away from it and live a life void of happiness, even you can't completely deny that those fresh waffles your dad had at breakfast smelled friggin AWESOME!
Of course it doesn't always have to be that processed powder you get your fix from. Nature has made some pretty tasty fruits that can satisfy the craving without the empty calories. We love sweetness as much as anyone and have learned throughout the years that hot sauce made sweet can be just what the doctor ordered. So check these offerings out and let us know what you think!
Everyday Sauce
Not nearly as sweet as some that follow, Everyday Sauce takes our original Sultry Sauce, with it's perfect blend of habaneros, carrots, tomatoes, and mandarin oranges and puts those tasty fruits and veggies front and center. Having very little habanero pulls the heat back to barley noticeable levels and allows you to taste the natural sweetness of oranges and carrots.
We have a recipe for pancakes we've shared before that this goes well in (and can sweeten them up a tad when used to replace Sultry) and dribbling some on a slice of cheese cake just works. Trust us.
Nekrogoblikon's Goblin Sauce
It's not every day that you get to put a little goblin in your diet and, if you can handle the spice of jalapeno and a pinch of scorpion peppers, you'll be looking forward to those days with Nekrogoblikon's Goblin Sauce.
With its base of orange juice and pineapple, that citrusy, tasty fruit flavor and tang shines on wraps, in chicken salad, and especially on ooey-gooey ham and cheese stromboli! We just sent out a few bottles to the band, as they were out, so you know this works with road food as well. Another fruit-sweetened hot sauce in the books...
Plum Reaper
So you think that once things get seriously maniacal on the heat scale, there's no room for deliciousness? Do you know us? Have you tried Garlic Reaper?? Get it together! Sorry...
Anyway, we got our plums big and ripe and shoved them right into this recipe which turned out to be this mildly sweet majorly hot monster that is criminally underrated: Plum Reaper. It seems to work on tons of Asian-style dishes (especially spring rolls, dumplings, etc.) but works just as well in burritos and sandwiches, too. Plums might scare a few people off, but not you, you are brave and also good-looking. You really have to give this one a try, it doesn't disappoint.
More Fruity Hot Sauces
That's but a taste of what you can find from us here at TorchBearer in regards to fruity sauces. If you want to see more sweet stuff, check our Sweet Sauces page out or just browse around. Our ingredients are clear and it's very easy to suss out some fruit based bangers, if you choose to do so.
Embrace the sweetness, humans (and Cromulax), and stay spicy!
