Knapp's
Fresh Vegies presents our own special recipe hot sauce. We grow about
150 varieties of chile peppers and use only those about serrano and
hotter to make a thick, hot, pepper sauce. We are not a full scale food
production operation. This is a off shoot of our farm operation and
as such is a boutique/limited production sauce.
We grow about 150 - 200 varieties of hot peppers. I've been saving pepper seeds for about 10 years or more. After you check out the Hot Sauce, go here for our pepper seeds. Each batch uses at least 25 varieties, and one had over 120. Each batch is a bit different depending upon the chiles available at the time. They all have a mix of at least 5 species of peppers from serrano, Thai, cayenne, tepin, tabasco, criolla sella (a Bacatum) and of course Habanero. Some even have Rocoto, the black seeded pepper. This current batch # 20 has over 90 varieties. We are currently out of our mild. I don't know when we will get to a new batch as we had a freezer failure and loot all the chiles we had saved for it. Our Extra Hot is no wimpy salsa, but isn't trying to compete with the outrageously hot concoctions that use capsicum extract. The extract tends to kill the flavor of the peppers. Ours still has flavor with the heat !! About 40% of the peppers in the Nightmare Extra Hot are Habanero family, so it has quite an "after kick". In 04 we also started making a version of the extra hot with some ground lime in it. As that was the first time we tried that, we weren't sure how that would work out. Actually it was such a hit that we sold out of the small amount we made. We will be making more of the lime but I'm not sure when yet. Until now it has only been available at the Madison Farmer's Market. If you're in Madison, Wi. on Saturday from May to Nov. check us out. In the last 3 seasons we've sold about 300 dozen jars. We are not a big producer by a long shot, but we now have the peppers and licensed facilities to produce several hundred dozen jars a year. Get yours while they last !! Buy 1 jar Extra hot $5.00 Shipping and handling is $4.00 for first jar and 2.00/ more for additional jars. 4 - 12 jars are $11.00 total as they will go in a flat rate box. Buy 1 case of hot sauce, $51 (4.25 each) + shipping ($62 total) Hot Sauce and Jam may be mixed in an order for shipping discounts. If you prefer, you can also email me an order and I will email back my address for you to send me a Money Order.
