Hands is a Mild garden-style sauce with white truffles. Vegetative, zesty, fresh. Fresno base. Good on anything.

Never worked in a restaurant?

Hands — A call for a server or food runner to bring plates to a table. An overwhelmed server might shout, “I need hands!” when they see their table’s order is up but they’re not able to get to it yet.

Ingredients:

Fresno Peppers, White Truffle, Scallion, Carrot, Celery, Thyme, Bay Leaf, White Wine, Vinegar, Water, Salt, Sugar, Citric Acid

This guy’s an easy one. Full, robust roasted Ramp flavors, a little Rhubarb bite, and a touch of the heat with Cherry Bomb peppers. Still, we don’t take kindly to their kind ‘round here.

Ingredients:

Cherry Bomb Peppers, Ramps (wild leeks), Rhubarb, Vinegar, Water, Salt, Sugar, Citric Acid

This is the fancy-boy, put-on-anything sauce. Fresno peppers bring mild-medium heat (2,500-10,000 shu). Slow roasted garlic, golden raisins, honey and saffron have you coming back for the last dregs.

This is a fun one. Boiled down, it’s a cherry and szechuan sauce. Fermented manzano and habanero base gives it a solid kick, backed up by a melody of spices. Definitely peppery and floral, it’s replaced the old stand-by (you know who) where steaks and chicken are concerned. Absolutely a grill baby.

Ingredients:

Mixed Hot Peppers, Cherries, Szechuan, Ginger, Onion, Garlic, Spices, Wine, Rice Vinegar, Water, Molasses, Salt, Sugar, Citric Acid

It smoked too much and it has some beer in it. The doctor said it’s blood pressure is concerning. Chew this aspirin. Hibiscus smoked jalapeño, habanero, onion and apples. It’s finished with an Irish dry stout. Mama Crime Robbers highly recommends this on beans. I think it’s good on anything hearty.

Ingredients:

Wood Smoke, Jalapeño, Habanero, Apple, Onion, Beer, Apple Cider Vinegar, Spinach, Spices, Water, Salt, Sugar, Citric Acid

Sweet, fruity and flowery, but not soap shop. This is a habanero sauce so it’s a bit of a step up. It combines lychee and chamomile for some nice calming contrast. Killer on a bahn mi.

Ingredients:

Habanero, Lychee, Chamomile, Vinegar, Spices, Water, Salt, Sugar, Citric Acid

Reasonable Doubt is a unique mix of tropical chocolate peppers and cocoa nibs. Tamarind adds a heavy dose of fruity brightness while blackened leek + carrot brings bold depth. The complexity is in itself relief from the heat.

Señoré is a mélange of extremely hot peppers. Most came from Russell Road Farm in Pleasant Prairie, WI with some of the reapers donated by the homie Alfredo’s garden. Apparently they both have it out for you because this one doesn’t hold back where heat’s concerned.

Truly a summer banger. This ghost pepper sauce is actually approachable. Soft, dark and sweet caramelized onions with a splash of tangy balsamic vinegar add depth and balance to the loads of fresh blackberries mounted in this baby. This is where you tuck a napkin into your shirt collar.

Ingredients:

Ghost Peppers, Blackberries, Onions, Balsamic Vinegar, Water, Salt, Spices, Sugar, Citric Acid

This one is pretty mean (~1 million shu). It’s 90% fermented ghost pepper purée. But you can make it past that, you big tough brute. Extremely flavorful. Yuzu adds sweet, tart and fragrant, notes of grapefruit, with overtones of mandarin orange. The two really play off of each other in this one.

Ingredients:

Ghost Peppers, Yuzu (mandarin), Water, Salt, Sugar, Citric Acid
