Carolina Reaper Throat Punch Hot Sauce – 5 fl oz

SH' THAT'S HOT! is a veteran-owned, family-operated business based in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Co-founders Shane Christensen and Shelli Ulrich turned kitchen sauce-making and a college business-plan project into a business after coworkers asked for more. Their focus is distinctive, balanced flavor, with a commitment to giving back to the veteran community.

Carolina Reaper heat with a sweet edge

Carolina Reaper Throat Punch combines Carolina Reaper powder with carrots, molasses and peaches in a prepared hot sauce. The maker describes a little sweetness alongside extreme heat. Distilled white vinegar, water and salt also appear in the recipe, giving this bottle a different flavor direction from a plain pepper powder.

Choose it for a meal where you want a strong pepper accent and can control the portion carefully. The product name and maker's heat description do not establish a tested Scoville rating for the finished sauce. A raw pepper's ranking should not be treated as a measurement of this blend.

Using an intensely hot sauce

• Heat ingredient: Carolina Reaper powder.
• Sweet ingredients: molasses and peaches.
• Other recipe components: carrots, vinegar, water and salt.
• Package: one 5 fl oz liquid-sauce bottle.

Begin with a very small amount on a separate portion of food. Try it beside grilled meat, vegetables or a rice dish rather than seasoning an entire serving before tasting. If sharing, label the sauce clearly and let each person choose whether and how much to add.

The maker also suggests using the sauce in baking. If you want to explore that idea, start with a recipe designed for a spicy addition or make a small test batch. Sweetness from molasses and fruit does not remove the heat, so avoid assuming that a dessert needs the same portion you would use in a savory dish.

Compare the hot sauce and BBQ selection or explore the Food & Pantry collection for more meal and gifting ideas.

Ingredients & product format

Review the current bottle for serving information, dietary details and any updated formula. No specific allergen-free status, organic certification, measured heat score or guaranteed tolerance level is stated here. The presence of fruit should not be used to describe the sauce as mild.

Storage & serving care

The supplied label recommends refrigeration and shaking well before use. Follow the directions and best-by information on the bottle you receive. Keep the cap closed between servings, wipe the rim clean and avoid introducing water or food crumbs into the sauce. A fixed shelf-life duration is not supplied here.

Begin with a small amount on a separate portion of food and taste before seasoning an entire meal. Serving sauce in its own dish lets each person choose an amount they enjoy. If you blend it into mayonnaise, yogurt or a dressing, follow the storage requirements of that mixture as well as the sauce label.

For dietary restrictions, check the current ingredient label. See the FDA's allergen-label guidance. No blanket allergen-free status is verified.
