Cracker House Hot Sauce Fire
I tried and wrote the review on the medium sauce before opining this one, and although it was good on fajitas it really wasn’t my favorite, and I wasn’t overly exited about opening this one. I did open it the next day and made more fajitas with it, and I remember thinking that it definitely had noticeably more heat. I didn’t Wright a review on it then, I ate about half the bottle sampling it on other foods and every combo I tried was a miss. Today I made more fajitas and broke it out, I already knew it was good on fajitas and I couldn’t go wrong. The first flavor you taste is the peppers, not hot peppers but bell or sweet peppers. I can taste the jalapenos and I can taste the brown sugar. The sweetness in it tastes more like a sweet pepper than sugar sweetness though because the dominant flavor is peppers. The vinegar is well hid in the background, and after eating my fill of fajitas with the sauce I had a slight tingling on my lips but not really enough to say it is that hot. Overall I liked it better than the medium, but probably wont ever buy it again. It was good on fajitas but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t find anything else to put it on that I liked. Some of my failures include eggs, pizza, mixed into a stir fry, and on a burger.

Ingredients: Tomato Concentrate made from red ripe tomatoes, fresh red and green Tomatoes, Sugar, fresh onions, distilled vinegar, green bell peppers, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, fresh datil & jalapeno peppers, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, garlic, salt, spice, black pepper, onion powder, oleo resin capsicum, and natural flavorings.
Taste: 5/10 it would be more if I liked sweet peppers more.
Smell: 4/10 it smells just like it tastes but sweeter, when you eat it, it is still sweet but not as bad as it seems like it would be from the smell.
Value: like another sauce I recently reviewed there is a 2 bottle minimum order and the price is 2 Bottles of Sauce for $12.00* Case of 12 bottles for $38.00* shipping is included. 6 dollars is about the average and I wouldn’t say it’s a bad value, but the sauce wasn’t really my favorite anyway and its not such a great price that I will buy more. 5/10
Heat: 3/10
Overall: 5/10 I have already finished off this bottle and I eventually will finish the medium also but its not something I would buy again. It’s a little to sweet for me and that’s the biggest thing holding it back, if you enjoy sweeter sauces and want to try one with a fresh pepper (mostly bell and sweet peppers) taste to it I would recommend this one to you.

Crackerhouse? There were a bunch of those where I lived in Detroit.
i live about an hour from detroit and theres alot of cracker barrells in the area but iv never heard of cracker house, maybe thats what you are thinking of
Uhhh Justin….I was joking.
when i first pulled it out of the box i confused it with cracker barrel restourant so i thought thats what you did also.
I have tried crackerhouse sause on chicken, eggs, steak, and pork and found the sweet/hot flavor a perfect compliment to these foods without overwhelming the main ingredient to the meal (the entree not the sauce). I find it refreshing to be able to add a unique flavor to ordinary foods without loosing the majority of my taste buds. Of course I prefer the medium sauce. I’m a big fan of sweet and sour dishes so this is a good fit for me. I generally go through a bottle at a sitting. Great sauce. Try it when your pallet is not so burned out.

I agree with some of the points you made Justin. I too ended up eating at least 1/2 the bottle with my meal.
You didn’t taste the oleoresin? It was very subtle yet still there. I found the heat to be slightly hotter than what you are getting. You must have a higher tolerance than I do. Well, if it’s anything like the way you ate those wings at the Deathmatch in Ohio during the Weekend of Fire.. I say no more!
