Bottle Description: South Carolina Hot Sauce. Give us this day our Daily Red. This irresistible elixir fires up scrambled eggs, grits, oysters, burgers, hot dogs, fries, fish, shrimp, chicken, ribs, grilled vegetables, cheese sandwiches, wraps, quesadillas, soup, pizza and pasta dishes.

Ingredients: Tomatoes, fresh onions, red habanero peppers, fresh garlic, fresh lime, distilled vinegar, honey, seasoning, citric acid, xantham gum, kosher salt.

Container: It’s a glass flask! First of all:………COOL! Sure it fits a little weird in the sides of refrigerators but it looks so damn good. Aside from bottle construction I appreciate that this sauce has habaneros in it but Palmetto Pepper Potions decides NOT to paste that fact all over the bottle. Graphics-wise it’s not much. It’s a little unassuming and if it weren’t for the shape of the bottle you’d pass on it visually.

Appearance: Well it is a sauce and it is hot but really..it looks a lot like salsa to me. You can see the tomato/tomato seeds in it. It’s thinner than super market salsa and is looks a little like apricot jam.

Smell: BIG WHIFF. Smells like salsa too. Smells good, mostly tomato, onions, lime and a hint of garlic and peppers. Thanks to its salsa-ness it avoids the bitter smell and vinegar smell that many hot sauces have. Like a Mexican produce store.

Consistency: Nice and chunky. You get a nice slow pour. This sauce stays on your food without you having to worry about it running off getting all over the place. Having experienced hot sauce in the eyes, this is a plus.

Taste: Upon first impression there’s a lot of lime. The sauce is kind of sour at first. After that it becomes sweeter and that’s when the sauce shows it true colors. It’s a mix of tomato/peppers/ salt/honey/onions in that order. That’s a whole lot of taste for one bottle. For me, the lime and vinegar is a bit heavy. I think because of that it limits the amount of food that Daily Red can be poured on.

Heat: 6.6/10 (Leaves a soft burn behind. Be not afraid to POUR. )

Field Test: On a cracker? Not so good. This is after all a salsa but not really. A simple cracker doesn’t compliment it’s tomatoes and lime. On fries, once again it doesn’t do much for me. It’s better than ketchup but it tastes misplaced.

On eggs and Mexican foods this stuff is awesome. Like I’ve been saying, this [tag]sauce[/tag] has all the makings of a salsa so why not use it as such. This where the lime and vinegar become a boon instead of a bane to the taste of this sauce, if you’re the kind of person that puts lime on your carne asada burrito then you have got to add this.

Final Word: 8.0/10 overall. It’s a great on Mexican food but I personally wouldn’t put it on anything else like a hot dog or a burger, blame the lime and vinegar. I’d definitely keep it in my fridge for certain foods but it’s not an all purpose sauce. And when it comes to Daily Red, that’s not a bad thing at all.

“Pepper aficionados know that if one can withstand the initial sense that the mouth is on fire, desensitization follows. That is, the more you eat, the more you can tolerate. There is a physical basis for this phenomenon. In cells growing in culture and in laboratory animals, several hours of exposure to pure capsaicin leads to degeneration and death of the exposed tissues.
Researchers hypothesize that prolonged but not dangerous exposure to capsaicin by hot-food lovers may actually kill pain fibers, and this is why they can tolerate the spicy food. This effect has led to uses of capsaicin in topical treatments for arthritis and herpes outbreaks. The scientists’ elucidation of precisely how capsaicin sets the human mouth afire may lead to development of new types of drugs to treat chronic pain.”

Some recent comments on our Original Recipe Hot Sauces:
Hey Chef Bud, I am a huge hot sauce fan! Right when I got home after meeting with you, I made a pot of spaghetti and poured on some of your Creepin’ Quag …I love it! It’s got a unique taste, good bite and a sweet hint. I was skeptical at first …but the taste is right from the hot sauce God’s! The sauce gets better every time I have it. I’ve been trying it on everything: beans and franks, coleslaw – yes coleslaw, and I discovered mixing the hot sauce with sour cream creates a nice dipping/topping sauce on your favorite Mexican dish – try it! Nice web site too! I’m interested in purchasing some other flavors soon. Keep makin’ sauce,

Chef Bud,
Just want to thank you for the great service and great sauce. I find habaneros to be uniquely flavorful as well as hot, and your sauce is one of the few that takes full advantage of the flavor component. Although the tastes are quite different, Spittin Fire goes on the top shelf right next to Lottie’s as my favorites. I’ll be back for more, and at the rate I am consuming Spittin Fire it won’t be long.
Thanks again. Hope you have the degree of success you want with your products.
Appreciatively,
Jack Ainsworth

Chef Bud,
I’ve been tasting and using a different variety of hot sauces for business and home for over 20 years. I have 8-10 different bottles of sauce in the fridge or cupboard right now! The first time I tasted the Spittin’ Fire the thing I noticed was the flavor and then the heat came on pretty strong but not too bad. Then I got my hands on a bottle of _Creepin’ Quag!!_ This has pushed all the other sauces to the back seat. The Cranberry Flavor is just the right amount. This stuff is so good that I eat it on almost everything. Pizza, steak, chicken, fish, soups, you name it. I could probably eat this stuff for breakfast!! Keep on makin’ it cause I don’t wanna run out!
GOOD LUCK WITH THE BUSINESS
DAVE BLODGETT

FERNDALE, Mich., Nov. 23 /PRNewswire/ — Garden Fresh Gourmet Salsa, the best-selling fresh, all-natural refrigerated salsa that’s the envy of Texas, is finally available to Atlanta area residents looking for outstanding taste and freshness. America’s number one award winning salsa is available at Publix, Kroger and Whole Foods stores for $3.49 to $3.99, including delectable flavors like Artichoke Garlic, Sweet Onion, Jamaican Scotch Bonnet, and Thick & Chunky. In addition, Peach Pineapple and Mango Peach are part of the growing fruit salsa trend, according to Dave Zilko, Garden Fresh Gourmet’s director of marketing.

Garden Fresh Gourmet salsa is artfully produced in five-gallon micro batches using only the best, freshest ingredients and innovative packaging procedures for an extended shelf life.

“With the holiday entertaining season nearing, we’re happy to enliven Atlanta palates with this outstanding, ‘party in a cup’ salsa,” explains Zilko. “Given the myriad ordinary jarred, preservative-filled salsas on the market, fresh salsa this good is unexpected.”

The products recently sashayed into the heart of Texas and stole the show at September’s 10th Anniversary Fiery Food Challenge sponsored by Chile Pepper Magazine, where they swept the Hot, Medium, Mild and Specialty Fresh Salsa categories with unusual first, second and third place awards in each.

The company boasts more than 100 industry awards since 2000. In addition to enjoying salsa straight from the cup with a handful of crispy Garden Fresh Kettle Style Original Tortilla Chips, Zilko suggests there are many ways to incorporate fresh salsa into tasty, quick mealtime entrees. (See Chicken Jambalaya recipe.)

Garden Fresh Gourmet was founded in 1997 when Michigan restaurateurs Annette and Jack Aronson began experimenting with fresh salsa. Customer demand and a lucky encounter with a local grocery retailer led to large-scale production and widespread distribution. Garden Fresh Gourmet produces a half-million pints of fresh salsa monthly. Products are available in 35 states and Canada through major grocery retailers.
