Last year I had the unbelievably good fortune to spend a couple weeks in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, it was only in the last few days of my trip that I discovered a sauce there called “Lizano Salsa” (Lizano Sauce, pronounced like “Liz-Ah-No”, so you can pronounce my Insane in the […]

Blackberry Cobbler Hot Sauce (Vinegar-Based)
This delicious hot sauce is also super versatile. You could have it on ribs, burgers, chicken (hello wings!), in stir fries, and more. But it’s also simply divine on top of some vanilla (or berry) ice cream. Beware that one is dangerously addictive. The other fun part of this recipe […]
Peach Cobbler Hot Sauce (vinegar-based)
This is it folks, my very own, currently one-of-a-kind (so it appears) recipe for hot sauce that tastes just like delicious peach cobbler. Except after the initial cobbler flavor, your face melts with the fiery inferno of orange habaneros (or whatever orange hot peppers you choose… Scotch Bonnets are widely […]
Fermented Dill Pickle Hot Sauce (and spicy pickle powder!)
Each summer I grow a lot of cucumbers to make all kinds of pickles. Of course, several of the pickle recipes I developed can be found on this site. Mostly though I just throw different herbs and things in that are available from my garden at the time I pick […]
“Chicken & Waffles” Hot Sauce (vinegar-based)

Salsa Verde Picante Fermentada (Fermented Green Hot Sauce)
Tacos. Steak. Enchiladas. Soup. Breakfast. Burritos. Breakfast burritos. What doesn’t spicy green sauce go on? I first started making homemade red and green salsas almost 20 years ago when a roommate got into it and proceeded to get me hooked. We were frequently buying all those commercial pre-made salsas you […]
Pineapple Kkakdugi (Kimchi) & Pineapple Kimchi Hot Sauce
That’s right! This post is for two – count ’em – two pineapple kimchi recipes. The cubed pineapple kimchi (kkakdugi) is so delicious, you’ll be lucky if you can resist eating it all before the blending stage to make it an epic sauce. Kkakdugi normally is the cubed, firm & […]
Russian Dressing (with option for fermenty, pho-flavored version)
Russian dressing is good on so many things (burgers, fries, wings, hot dogs, brisket, sandwiches, and much more). I made it most recently to use on an epic Pho Reuben sandwich which incorporated many fermented and pho-spiced components. That Russian dressing, which is featured in this post, used several fermented […]
