Blue's Habanera Reserve

[sevver]

Well I recieved a bottle of Blue's Habanera Reserve as a prototype sample the other day. So far I have to say that this is a perfect sauce and can be used for probably anything at all. I have been too busy lately to do anything proper with it, but this morning I made eggs and put some on there.

I was very suprised to find that it was not unbearable with the habs in it. There was a very nice warm heat in my mouth and down the esophogus. While at the same time a nice sweet taste that was hard to place. I have to admit that for the rest of the time, more and more went on the eggs, and I found that I could not stop. To my suprise, my oldest daughter wanted to try it, she likes salsa but has never had hot sauce at all, and she loved it. Then, to top it all off, my 5 year old, who won't even eat cinnamin gum tried it and liked it too.

Apparently there is a bit of work to go into it yet, but as it is now it is an excellent sauce. I think a bit thicker would be nice, and of course more heat also, as long as it does not alter the flavor much, because its that sweet/hot thing that makes it what it is. I look forward to making something else with it here too. Maybe I will have tomorrow off...

Thanks alot for the sample!

Sevver:

Thanks for the kind words. The final product will be thicker, less sweet and hotter. All of the feedback that I have received has been positive. I think folks will like Blue's Habanera Reserve when it is released in the future.

Great, I look forward to it.

Great, I look forward to it.

Hey Folks:

My hopefully, final version of Blue's "Habanera Reserve" is complete.

Samples will be sent to those who had expressed interest. This product if well received, will be available after new label design and a trial batch to be cooked with my co-packer.

Stay tuned,

Oh, I hope I expressed the right interest :lol: . That's cool that you are redoing the labels! Are you going with a different label stock as well? Thicker, UV Coat?

Hey:

A sample is coming your way. Have you seen the label for my Carolina Pepper sauce? My new label will have a guitar somewhere on the label for product recognition, but the new label will be totally different. I do use a thick label that is coated to prevent ink to run. My new habanera reserve has so many habs in it that it can probably peel paint. It tastes good though!!!

Give me a few days to send. Gotta work to support my sauce business.

Yep, I've seen the labels (they are on your website ;) ). (cool, I get the final sauce! Thanks Blue!)

More habs? Most excellent! I'll try some on paint and see what happens.... :lol:

WOW - This sauce sounds fantastic! I love sauces that have a sweet bite! Blue's - Good Luck wioth your sauce! If you have an extra sample I would love to throw some down! Check your PM

Thanks!

DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINAH! Great sauce. You completely nailed this one. It’s got the right balance of sweet, heat, and flavor. With the removal of water makes it much thicker (and also eliminated the need for the dab/squirter device on the opening of the bottle…which I’ve noticed that you removed.) I say run with this one because I can’t think of anything I would change about the sauce now.

[Blue's]

Thanks for the kind words. Please tell the world. I removed the fitment (shaker top) due to the thickness. I do beleive that I have a good sauce. Of course there are many good products that never make it. If I don't get profitable soon, I may have to shut Blue's BBQ, Inc. down. I have other sauces and rubs ready to introduce, but need my Blue's Carolina Pepper Sauce to support the growth. Enjoy the sample and please tell Hot Licks in San Diego that they need my sauce. They have my samples.

Thanks and spread the word.

Blue's,
you got the right one on this one, i think it is perfect the way you got it, still good on pulled pork....i tried and it was fenomenal. Thanks for the sample.

[sevver]

I got mine, and I will have to plan something to have it on for tomorrow evening. Giving it the taste test though, I love it, the thickness is perfect and the heat is better, plus it still has that awesome sweatness to it. Great job.

Nice job on this batch! Aroma and color are very inviting, thick enough that the ingredients stay suspended in the bottle, but thin enough to pour. Very good balance of flavor and heat as well. I think steamed shrimp would be my food of choice with this sauce. Let us know when this goes into production. Thanks!

[dreamtheatervt]

This stuff is ready for market. It is a little sweet, but I think it's important to offer a new taste to the market. Like others have stated, the consistancy is good, the flavor is really good, and the heat is nice, lingering burn.

I used some in tuna salad for tuna melts, and they turned out great; but I had some on my omelet this morning and that's where it really shined. I'm going to use it as a BBQ sauce on some burgers tonight.

Let us know when this stuff does retail, good sauce!

[imaguitargod]

You guys need to try this on some rice...Wowie Wee Wow!

[sevver]

I had it on my eggs again this morning again too, and I have to say, that is an awesome way to start the day. :)

[dreamtheatervt]

also works well in New England Clam Chowder, as a BBQ sauce on burgers, and excellent with pierogies. Please keep this stuff in the 10 oz. bottles Blue, it's good stuff.

Hey Blue,

We tweaked the categorizing of Jon's review on our site. That oughta keep it visible for a little while longer since it'll linger in the "Product Reviews" section for a bit. Can't wait to see your new labels when they're done. Sounds like a great sauce. Good luck, amigo! :clap:

Blue, is it too late to get a sample? I'd really like to give it a try!

I'm sorry. The prototypes are all gone. Actual production will
begin soon. Waiting on label folks to get back with me.

Just a bit of a bump.

When is this going to be up for sale? I am about out and that just can't happen. :shocked:

Tuna salad! That's a great idea! Guess it's time for me to get a few tuna steaks for the grill and try Blue's sauce on it..For the past two weeks I've found myself grabbing this sauce to put on my scrambled eggs.

Hey Blue's, any update on when this will be ready for purchase??

[marcosauces]

About just salad itself..!!

Hey All:

I've been bad about updating. My hab Reserve is bottled and ready but no labels yet. Having major kid problems. I was going to sell bottles without a label but decided it was a bad idea. Some folks ordered and didn't care about the labels and I will go ahead and ship to them.

I can tell you, my final product is hotter than what you sampled and is laced with fresh garlic. Sugars reduced and overall, I think a great sauce.

I will try to get my printers on the labels in between court hearings. Anybody want to buy an 18 year old idiot?
