From the bottle: You’d be a crazy mother pucker if you didn’t love Crazy Mother Pucker’s Peachy Perversion Hot Sauce! This sweetly perverted sauce is the perfect blend of peaches, Habanero and Cayenne peppers.
Ingredients: Peaches, Red Wine Vinegar, Natural Sugar, Habanero Peppers, Onions, Cayenne Pepper, Salt, Orange Extract, and Spices
OK, so I didn’t feel like cooking and I had left overs in the fridge. A little take out from the best Polish deli in town, Piast Meat and Provisions, and some Oven Fry pork chops that I made the other night. So I heated up a pork chop, the cabbage from Piast, and made some garlic and olive oil couscous. I of course wanted to add a little heat and an extra dimension of flavor to my meat, insert favorite joke here, so I looked on my to be reviewed shelf. I noticed I had a peach hot sauce that might go nicely with my meal.
The first sniff of this sauce is vinegar. Which is not always a bad thing but not always a good thing. I don’t really smell too much in the way of peaches or peppers but I do know that first smells can deceiving. First looks are nice though, you can see the fibers from the peaches, peppers, and seeds. It has a nice orange brown tint like an over ripe peach. The label is of your typical hot sauce label. Big animated cartoon sea gull coming out of what looks like a bull eye in shades of blue on this green shiny striped background. Makes me a little dizzy to be honest with you. And no, I wasn’t drinking, as hard as that may seem to believe!
I poured some into a small bowl for pictures. It was a little runny but nothing out of control. Now for the true test, taste. I put some on a spoon and opened wide! The first taste for me was the taste of vinegar followed by an under ripe peach flavor. Then I got the smallest taste of the peppers. I honestly wasn’t wowed yet but to be fair the true test is on food.
So I put some on my pork chop. It was OK. It didn’t add much heat to my food or flavor for that matter. I wanted more heat but I didn’t even want to add more sauce to my food. It felt lacking. It wasn’t sweet nor was it savory. It just was.
Overall Crazy Mother Puckers Peachy Perversion is a sauce that I will be putting on my collection shelf because I have no desire to eat it again.
