“More than just a hot pepper relish…When opened properly, there’s a party in every jar…Good fer what ails ya.”
There are plenty of good sayings on the jar of Dr. Gonzo’s Peppermash. The stuff inside looks like a fine relish, a chunky mixture of peppers and onions with plenty of seeds floating around. It is very sweet and aromatic on the nose, with a pleasant peppery backdrop and a good dose of vinegar. The smell, texture and look is most certainly more relish-like than mash-like.
Ingredients: Jalapeno & Cherry Peppers, Onions, Garlic, Sugar, Vinegar, Lime Juice, Salt
On First Taste:
Upon tasting Dr. Gonzo’s, the first thing I noticed was the sweetness. The sugar content really comes to the front, and stands out prominently. There’s a good, round pepper flavor, and a tweener-type heat: newbies would call it spicy, chiliheads would call it mild. So, I will go with a compromise and call it a layman’s medium. Definitely a relish, and a very good one at that.
On Food:
I tried to give Dr. Gonzo’s a try on a fried egg, bacon and cheese sandwich. While the eggs were on the skillet, I grabbed some chips and started chowing on Dr. Gonzo’s as a salsa. My gosh, was it good. I put down a good part of the jar, savoring every bite, until I smelled something burning. Dr. Gonzo’s was so good, it caused my to charbroil the last 2 eggs I had in the house. So, my sandwich morphed into bacon and cheese topped with Dr. Gonzo’s Peppermash.
The sandwich turned out very well, the sweetness and mild heat complementing the cheese and bacon nicely (though it would have been even better with eggs.) It would also be a great topping on fish or chicken. But to my taste, where Dr. Gonzo’s really shines is straight out of the jar. Used as a salsa, it has few rivals.
In Conclusion:
If you love sweet and a little bit of heat, Dr. Gonzo’s World Famous Peppermash is for you. It is particularly good straight out of the jar, and would also be a very nice breakfast and dessert sauce.

John, nice call, this is our ‘mildest’ variant of our hot pepper relishes. The cherry peppers mellow out the jalapenos and really sweeten our ‘mash’ recipe. Newbies think it’s off the charts but it’s not even close; great ’starter’ heat to lure in the uninitiated or a heat phobic friend or relative.
Sorry ’bout the eggs!! Try the remainder (if you have any) in with your tunafish sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch or mix it with a little sour cream as a chip dip!
Thanks again and we’re glad you enjoyed the product! All the best from the whole Uncommon Crew

Good Dr. I make a mash also just ask DK and Bubba and Betty Lou. What kind of still do you use. I model mine after Granny. She made it big and move to Beverly Hills.
Sorry Leroy for the delay. Our production perticulars are a bit hush hush but I can say that now that our mashes are availible to the masses… we can no longer provide our products in the traditional Mason Jar. Granny’d be rollin’ inner grave right ’bout now I’spect.
Hope this helps ya an I can’t wait ta try yer mash in the back of the short bus (I’m the guy with the worn in hockey helmet).
PS my window is MINTY
DK watch it Leroy on his way over He said the Good Dr has a window on the SB that MINTY he wants to lick it.

Whats the padding like in a hockey helmet? You got stickers to go with that helmet?
Blane, padding is kinda old and smelly.. but it’s warm and all my sticker’s except my Hardknock ‘U’ alma mater have been worn off.
Hate new helmets anyway….
Leroy, forgot to say that I no longer have a dog. Now I have kids… same destruction of the humble abode but much more difficult to train.
Some fruits don’t fall far from the tree. Sure that my ancestors are laughing thier butts off from the other side.
