Knapp's Fresh Vegies
hot sauce

Welcome to our Hot Pepper Sauce page

 
I haven't updated the hot sauce page for quite a while. Today I took out the links to directly order it. This is because every time the Post Office changes rates I get killed loosing money on postage. A recent Canadian order of 1 jar and a few seeds cost me almost as much in postage as what I got for the whole order.

So from now on when you want to order any hot sauce, please email me the order with your zip code and I will check out the current postage and then send you a PayPal money request. Sorry to make it a bit more difficult but I can't just give the sauce away as I have on a few orders.

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.

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 and our Lime. I don't know when we will get to a new batch as we had a freezer failure and lost 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 the newer super hot varieties or 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.

Until now it has only been available at the Madison Farmer's Market.

It's $5.00 / 8 oz jar + postage. Postage can be about as much as the sauce tho often the postage on 2 jars is a better deal.

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.
