Heartbreaking Dawns 1841 Ghost Pepper Sauce

Today I am reviewing Heartbreaking Dawns 1841 Hot Sauce. Last October I attended the Weekend of Fire in Ohio and tried out some hot sauces including this one. So I asked Johnny McLaughlin of Heartbreaking Dawns if I could take some home to try it out and review. And so I did.

Ingredients:
Pears, Applesauce, Cider Vinegar, Ghost Peppers (Bhut Jolokia), Water, Onion, Carrot, Lime Juice, Sugar, Sea Salt, Garlic, White Pepper

The sauce is orange, and it has a medium consistency.

1841 smells fruity and really spicy. In my opinion, I think this sauce is good for meats, like chicken or hamburgers. I also think its good, but also hot, on Mexican foods like tacos or burritos. The heat level is 7 out of 10 and is hot!

My overall rating is 4.5 out of 5 because its really hot but, it's still delicious!

The only assistance I provide is any necessary fixes in capitalization and punctuation, help with HTML and resizing pictures in Photoshop. Although his perspective is that of a spicy food novice, he will approach things with a blunt, honest and completely undiluted viewpoint.

Great review! Finally got around to using mine from the 2011 Weekend of Fire (purchased waaay too many sauces that year). I finished the bottle in less than a week. One of my top 5 sauces!

Great review!!!!! Interestingly, the illustrious Cook's Illustrated rated this as their favorite "hottest hot sauces," noting: "One of the first commercially available sauces made with Trinidad Scorpion Butch T peppers, this sauce packs a punch without neglecting flavor. It contains apricots, blueberries, carrots, and honey, which give it a “smoky,” “sweet,” “fruity” flavor that balances its “harsh,” “biting” heat. Tasters liked it for use on “all things meat” and warned that it’s “not deadly but not something to take lightly either.”"
