Anywho, down to business. I have with me a bottle of Over/Under Apple-Cranberry from Deer Camp. Unfortunately, I can’t find a website anywhere on the internet for them that isn’t a retailer, so I’ve linked you to the only website provided on the bottle, a Mexican restaurant by the name of Buen Apetito. In Maine.
Ingredients:
Roasted Maine McIntosh apples, red Habanero peppers, apple cider, whole cranberries, apple cider vinegar, onions, lime juice, brown sugar, Agave nectar, garlic, coriander, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg.
Appearance:
To start, it’s in a glass flask-shaped bottle. Good or not, this sauce will serve me well long after it’s gone. The old-timey styled label with a camping setting is reminiscent of something you’d buy as a souvenir from summer camp. Maybe. I will say, after cracking the bottle open, that the smell of apples and red Habanero peppers immediately started my mouth off to watering. It’s a thicker sauce, so some upside-down patting of the bottle will be in order.
Ratings:
FIRE | FLAVOR |
I was surprised by the kick this bottle gave me square in the teeth. I’m disappointed by the lack of cranberries, though. For an Apple-Cranberry sauce, there was a surprisingly high amount of heat and low amount of cranberry flavor. Otherwise, it made a pretty decent Apple-Habanero sauce. It tasted like it was straight out of a cider press, but with habanero peppers thrown in. On the heat scale, I give it a medium, and on the flavor scale, I give it a nice.
