Review: Death in the Desert Habanero Hot Sauce

Jackson’s Signature Sauces - Death in the Desert (Habanero Hot Sauce)
Death in the Deset Habanero Hot Sauce

Bottle Description: Jackson’s Death in the Desert is an awesome blend of fiery habanero and other all-natural, preservatives free ingredients and Spices. Recommended for a wonderful heat and awesome flavor on steaks, chicken, pork, fish and soups!

Ingredients: Carrots, peppers, spices, vinegar, salt.

Container: Regular graphics, unsuspecting bottle.

Appearance: A standard red-brownish sauce, with seeds etc.

Smell: Vinegary? This sauce has all the makings of a regular old vinegars and peppers sauce but the smell is mellower. More inviting. That’s probably because of the carrot aroma which lightens the mood.

Taste:
A no nonsense sauce that you’ve had many many times before. However the harsher aspects of those sauces have been dulled. You may be used to tartness from vinegar but Death in the Desert is more carroty, playing against the vinegar. The sauce then is miler in terms of tartness, almost like a tart fruit.

Heat: (7.0/10) The sauce leaves a tad bit of warmth on your tongue.

Field Test: This sauce goes pretty well with everything if you wanna add bit of heat to any dish. An all around sauce that excels on breakfast foods.

Final Word: Pick up a bottle. It won’t change your life but it’s good to get back to basics every once in a while.

Overall: 7.2/10

Great sauce…. Great Company…. I have had this sauce several times, it’s a must have on the table…

The review was like a small town, blink and you might miss it…. No offense Clint but it could have had a little more meat to it…

Yeah i would have said more but the sauce is solid. I have no complaints but i also have no glowing words of flattery either.

Right on Tracy, Thank you !!
Clint, perfect review also, no frills, just a reg old hab sauce. This particular sauce has given me nightmares trying to go from small batch to big kettle. Hopefully, I have it perfected now, probably a little more flavorful and stand out from the norm. Bottles will be going out to bloggers soon with Xmas stuff, they will for sure let me know.

Don’t worry, you dont have to change anything. It’s good as is. It’s one of those always at the ready sauces. Good stuff.

My humble opinion:
Why make sauce if it’s average, if it’s something that already exists. Not my mission. DITD started from a jerky recipe when I ran out of Belize sauce, I had to start from scratch.

The sauce sells good, steady sales, BUT, thats not the objective, I want a stand out product, not a ” you’ve had it before” sauce. I appriciate the honest and accurate review, and in my opinion it is accurate, but I will always seek that next level, the fantastic sauce, the awesome sauce, must have.

If I cannot make a hot sauce that is better and above, I will discontinue the line. Average is unacceptable, I will just go and buy some stuff from the grocery store call it quits.

Jack, ease up, just one man’s opinion! If I let an individual’s opinion of a sauce influence me like that, I would have quit a long time ago. You can’t please everyone! Granted, this is posted for the world to see, but he didn’t slam the sauce. Average would mean for every one who likes it, there would be one who doesn’t. Take this as you want, but keep doin’ what your doin’, you’ve got people who love it. I’ve got sauces that only a handful of people like, but I still keep making more…

Ahhh
Listen to what I mean, not what I type, lol.
I thought Clints review was great, it’s just that this DITD has been a nightmare for me. It is me who is the biggest critic, CaJohn, I have talked to you at length about this. It is a good sauce, but still induces nightmares, I want better !!!
Thanks Bret and Big Daddy,
