Mr Firehead Hot Sauces

Sauces

Here you’ll find a list of some of the hot sauces I’ve made over the years, and a bit of information about it.

  • Ghost Cat (Annual): Ghost Cat is my signature hot sauce. It’s name comes from one of the predominant peppers in it (Ghost), and the Muscat wine (also home made from our own grapes) infused in it. The exact blend of peppers varies from year to year, but it usually includes things like Carolina Reapers, Trinidad Scorpions, and of course, Ghost Peppers. It also has tomatoes, onions, garlic, and carrots from our garden, plus vinegar, salt, and the wine. Heat level is usually between 7-8 out of 10.
  • Sweet Peach (2019, 2025): This is a blend of Niagara peaches and various hot peppers, vinegar, and salt. Heat level is usually around 5/10.
  • Smokey Peach (2019, 2024): This is similar to Sweet peach, but the peppers and/or peaches are smoked for several hours before being added to the sauce. Heat level is usually around 6/10.
  • It Tastes Like Burning (2023): This is a hot sauce where I tried to just make it as hot as I could, without worrying about flavour. It’s designed to give to people who say they can handle any heat, and then watch them squirm.
  • The Burn (2025): This is similar to ‘It Takes Like Burning’ but without any of the medium heat peppers blended in.
  • GreenEnvy (semi-recurring): This is a more mild sauce, green in colour. It’s made at the end of the season, using unripened peppers and tomatoes.
  • Flaming Frog (2020): This was a hot sauce infused with hops from our garden.
  • Chocolate Pineapple (2023): Applewood smoked peppers, pineapple bits and juice, and cocoa powder make this a unique hot sauce
  • Fermented (annual): Unlike most of my other sauces, this is not a cooked/preserved hot sauce, it is instead fermented. It’s made with various peppers, onions, garlic, carrots, and salt.
  • Wolf 359 (2024): Another super hot one, resistance is futile.
  • Sauce, Earl Grey, Hot (2025): This is the fermented hot sauce, but made with early grey tea instead of plain water in the brine. Enjoyed by bald French captains.
