The story

A complex, flavour-led sauce — red pepper, pear and ginger leading the charge, rounded out by a subtle hit of habanero. It's the one for cooks who want depth, not aggression. Ideal for wraps, mezze platters, fajitas, or stirred through couscous for a deliciously spicy finish.

Description

A flavour-led sauce with red pepper, pear and ginger leading the charge, rounded out by a subtle hit of habanero. It builds slowly and rewards you with warmth rather than a wallop, the thinking cook's everyday sauce. Balanced, aromatic and endlessly useful in the kitchen

Ingredients

Bramley apple cider vinegar, red pepper, pear juice (from concentrate), lemon juice, modified starch, sugar, ginger extract, habanero chilli (0.4%), salt.

What people say

I tried the sauces for the first time at the game fair yesterday, and they are outstanding. The Samson was my favourite; I’ve been eating it on everything, and nearly half of the bottle is gone. I’ll be ordering more. Thanks again for all the help and information yesterday.

Having tried the entire range with a cheese board, I decided to give my BBQ burgers a bit of a zing with the Redhead unbelievably tasty. Now I’m using them all on everything I BBQ. The Samson is excellent on chicken.

I tried the Pear & Ginger sauce earlier today. It had subtle hints of ginger with a warm aftertaste. Very enjoyable. I can’t wait to try the others in the range.

I have been a fan of these truly amazing hot sauces for several years. The flavour combinations and range of heat in each sauce are perfectly balanced. I highly recommend Blackfire Hot Sauce 10/10 for being consistently perfect.

I have to say I’m not a foodie or a vegetarian, I’m pretty average about food and don’t profess to know much. That said, I had to get a review about these sauces—a revelation. It doesn’t have to be complicated, add, and you can zing up anything. Super tasty! Top stuff!

I’ve been using lovely Chalula chilli sauce for at least 15 years. Long before we could get it in Ireland, I brought it back from Mexico & the USA. But I now have a new love. A beautiful Belfast Redhead! I was utterly uninterested in carrots….but then I met Blackfire’s Belfast Redhead. I’m not a big fan, and that was then, but this is now!

Thanks so much from all of us at Big Franks BBQ. We tried out your sauces at a wedding we just did, and they went down a treat. You will be hearing from you soon with an order.

Any food tastes better with Tim’s sauces. And it’s not just vegetarians and vegans who enjoy this – us omnivores love it too! Give your taste buds a treat.

Fantastic hot sauces with a superb range of flavours! I highly recommend Pain in the Hole with a fajita pasta bake! Unreal!
Matt · ★★★★★

I got these on a whim once, and can’t stop going back for more; a great addition to my normal plain old cheese on crackers with a pleasant kick without the normal harsh chilli aftertaste, and it’s great to know it’s all freshly produced with local produce! These are exciting flavours, so keep up the excellent work!
