| Original: This is the sauce that got it all started. My inspiration. Out of all the sauces that I have looked at and tried. None ever started with tomates. It was either paste, puree, sauce or ketchup. I chose tomatoes, and made my own basic sauce with it. This is a nice starter product, with a perfect blend of vinegar, sugar, molasses and other seasonings and spices. This one has a hint of heat right at the end, just the way I like it. This is my family's favorite. Price: $6.00 for 12 fl oz Pretty Piquin Hot: As I was letting people sample the original, and a lot of people did like it. There were one or two out there, namely my boss at Cafe di Coppia, Chef John Halligan, who said it could stand to be a little hotter. Not a problem. I did some research on hot chiles and came upon a little fellow called the Piquin. It is dark red, and about the size of a cranberry, some even smaller. On the Scoville Heat Scale, it is said that this rates at 140,000 heat units. So, this one on a scale of 1-10 is right around a 6 or 7. I didn't want it to be intolerable, but I still wanted it to make a statement. This one is made in honor of my boss, John Halligan. Price: $6.00 for 12 fl oz. Roasted Garlic: Man! I love garlic! I want it on, in and around everything I cook and eat. Farmers cannot grow it fast enough for me. I wanted a garlic sauce that didn't taste like spaghetti sauce. I totally hit the mark. This has a whole lot of garlic, heck, it even has garlic floating in it. Did I mention this has a lot of garlic in it? In addition, it also has a hint of cayenne at the finish. You will definately taste the garlic though. Price: $7.00 for 12 fl oz Mango-Chipotle: I have always liked mangos, and the smokey heat of chipotle peppers, I thought the combination would be interesting. My sister-in-law, Amber, she tried it and it became one of her favorites. I took out most of the hickory liquid smoke, because of the smokiness of the chipotle, for the same reason I removed some of the heat from Original flavor. Rather than use molasses, I substituted fresh mangos. Amber says she puts it on everything, but I think it goes well with chicken, pork or grilled fish. Price: $8.00 for 12 fl oz All of my sauces are made from the basic tomato sauce I make, I do not add any extra salt to the sauce.. When they are finished, I label each bottle, and hand pour 12 fluid ounces into each jar. This is my labor of love, you will get my best effort. I figure, if you are going to spend your hard earned money on this product, you better get something very good. Grab a spoon, a brush or a knife and start enjoying Tom A.
