Crazy Bastard Sauce - Ghost Pepper & Mango

The mango comes through clearly before the ghost pepper kicks in, and that apple and onion base gives it a rich, almost stew-like depth that works great on rice dishes. I put it on scrambled eggs and ended up finishing the bottle in under two weeks.

The heat creeps up slowly after the first bite, which makes the mango and apple sweetness a nice surprise before the ghost pepper kicks in. I've been putting it on eggs and rice bowls all week, and the vinegar tang keeps it balanced instead of just burning.

The heat hits slow and then lingers on the tongue, but that 12% mango keeps it from being brutal. I've been putting it on eggs and even a boring cheese toastie, and the vinegar tang cuts through everything nicely.
