HOT SAUCE MAKERS! This Throwdown is all about the sauce. The sauce is what makes the meal here, and we are taking this from the perspective of a manufacturer, meaning, if you were to bottle this, it would be a marketable specialty sauce. We're using this angle because this is a hot sauce community with members that like to tinker with sauces for fun, and professionally.
  • You must make, from scratch, a specialty (hot) sauce.
  • You must create the dish the sauce is intended for.
What is a specialty hot sauce? It is ANY sauce with hot peppers that is made for a specific food or dish. Think vindaloo, mole, jerk... if bottled these would be called specialty, but come up with your own, or put your spin on a classic. Don't just make a BBQ sauce, if you're making brisket, make a brisket sauce and tell us why it's best on brisket. Pork chops? Apple hot sauce? You get it.
 
It may be cooked or uncooked, and served hot, at room temp, or chilled.
 
Take us through the process in your teaser pics.
 
You must list all ingredients of your specialty hot sauce, including measurements.
You must name your specialty hot sauce. If you wish to go as far as graphics, even better.
Presentation pic 1 is the finished hot sauce either bottled or in the pot, in a bowl, etc.
Presentation pic 2 is the dish you cooked (or prepared) for the hot sauce, with the hot sauce.
Ingredients and cooking methods of dish required.
 
You can make two entries ONLY if one is a dessert (hot) sauce. AND if more than one is entered, there will be a separate poll for the dessert sauces, so two crowns will be given! Same rules apply. Separate post.
