Food for Thought’s Great Lakes Pear Preserves (product link not exactly what I have, but looks similar) is organic and comes in a small jar. The jar I purchased was of a small batch of only 140 jars. The preserves are this sort of ochre-ish color and are chunky. It looks as advertised: cooked down…

This stuff, Tennessee’s Best Very Berry Jam, despite its name, doesn’t have an over powering berry flavor, but that’s not a problem at all. I can’t say if it’s Tennessee’s Best, but it is quite delicious. It tastes good without being cloying. The lack of overpowering sweet/berry flavor was a major plus in my book.…

Gindo’s Lemon Serrano Hot Sauce is a punchy hot sauce with a gritty spice. The lemon doesn’t really come through that much but the Serrano definitely does. It has that textured spice to it but adds a semi-sweetness to food. It’s pretty good. I’d rate it in the middle of the pack as far as…

This Gindo’s hot sauce is a brilliant red hue. Looking at its contents and what it says it’ll taste like (“deliciously sweet and spicy”)—I knew this would be a winner. Spicy and sweet? Nothing fancy or crazy going on? It had all the makings of a strong, versatile hot sauce. Something that can go with…

Gindo’s Artichoke Pesto Hot Sauce feels quite different to their other hot sauces. For one, it’s mild and really not that spicy. It says “mild heat”…and that is true. The other aspect that sets it apart is, well, its flavor profile and composition. It is supposed to be like pesto (I assume) and it is…

Based on the ingredient list, it has, for example: pineapple, mango, orange, and more blended with ghost pepper and other spicy peppers. It was a very interesting combination that I was eager to try. I used it on pasta and…

I picked up the Sonoma Gourmet Heirloom Tomato Pizza Sauce along with Miyoko’s cashew milk mozzarella to make pizza. Shocking, I know, given that this sauce advertises its purpose exactly as that. It’s filled with tomatoes and other goodness that one associates with pizza. It smells really nice. And goodness it is on pizza. We…

Gindo’s Spicy Romesco Hot Sauce is probably the mildest of all the Gindo’s sauces that I’ve had. But that’s not a knock or critique against it at all—I love this hot sauce and I wouldn’t want it any spicier! It works wonderfully exactly how it is. Because it is spicy just…more in the flavor palette…

Gindo’s Hip Hip Churray hot sauce, a collaboration with the Foreign Exchange Brewing Co., is probably the darkest hued Gindo’s sauce I’ve had. It makes sense—it’s made with beer and cocoa. Beer is usually a turn off for me so I was skeptical of this hot sauce, but the cocoa aspect was enticing. I was…

Another Gindo’s hot sauce! This time it’s green and has avocado in it. Hence Spicy Avocado. At first, I wasn’t sure if the avocado in the title was like due to the color or to say “use this with avocado”. It is true, though. It does contain avocado, along with jalapeno peppers and other fun/spicy…
