Two Hot Sauces: Iceman’s VooDoo Joose & Bandana’s Serious Habanero Pepper Sauce
I’ve been reviewing hot sauces on my web site for about 15 years now and I still enjoy doing so. I’m going to start putting new reviews on the blog from time to time.
The label indicates the contents have “sweet heat” and with habanero peppers as the chief heat source, I was expecting something with a lot of heat, but actually it’s a good solid medium level of heat that lingers yet never overpowers. What makes this sauce remarkable is the flavor which according to the label consists of pineapple mustard (I don’t know if that’s actually pineapple AND mustard or a “pineapple mustard” since there’s no comma between the two words), brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, salt, chili powder, (unspecified) spices and red pepper. I may be imagining things but there seems to be a hint of cumin in this sauce but that may be due to the chili powder. It’s a fairly thick sauce which makes me wonder why they put one of those plastic pour-reducer (I don’t know what else to call it) that usually comes on bottles of thin sauces. I had to remove it to get a good flow from the bottle. All that brown sugar and molasses definitely tones down the heat from the habanero peppers so that “sweet heat” is definitely a deliciously truthful claim for this thick and rich sauce.
The label for this sauce has the following warning: “Warning!! Not recommended on breakfast cereal (grits excluded, of course!)” Now I’ve tried hot sauces on some interesting and unique foods, but BREAKFAST CEREAL? I guess you have to be seriously addicted to hot sauce to put it on some Captain Crunch With Crunchberries. However with that being said, this very thick & chunky sauce consists of habanero & scotch bonnet peppers along with a blend of apple & white vinegar, carrots, onion, carrot juice, and garlic. The carrots reduce the heat from the habanero and scotch bonnet pepper but this isn’t a wimpy sauce. I put the heat level at a solid medium bordering on upper-medium. It has an interesting tartness to it that isn’t bad nor conflicting with the ingredients. Overall a very good sauce.
