Spicy should not just be for noodles or tacos. Stacey's Sweet Heat offers a spice level for everyone. From a mild and fresh Strawberry Jalapeno jam to a tingly Raspberry Reaper sauce.
I started eating hot sauce with my uncle Brad and my dad when I was a little kid in MN. We wanted to see who could eat the most-the hot sauce was a fresh green sauce called Ahooa (from my 8 year old memory).
Why should noodles have all the fun? There is Red Pepper Jelly but I wondered why couldn't my homemade raspberry jam have a kick. Then I went on to chutney (which I love on goat cheese). The jams and fruit sauces are great on ice cream and cake. The jam is also great in a sandwich with Peanut Butter.
I started peppers in a green house and played with different flavors. The Yucatan Peninsula is one of my favorite places that have the best flavors. We have a Habanero hot sauce with citrus, for a milder palate we have a Green Jalapeno Hot Sauce that uses ingredients from the fields in Jefferson County WA. carrots, onions, garlic and cilantro flavor the jalapenos.
Each season there will be a new jam and chutney and, in the fall, when the peppers are abundant, we will make out hot sauces! We are only confined by our imaginations-oh and out other jobs. Since Stacey's Sweet heat is a small business, we just plan on making about 30 jars of jam per season and about 100 bottles of hot sauce. I am proud to call Jefferson County WA my home and the produce available is amazing-so many wonderful farms and farmers. I will get as much of my ingredients from the Olympic Peninsula as I can-however some of the spiciest peppers do not grow well here so I will get those from Eastern Washington. Eating locally and seasonally is important to me and was instilled in me at an early age when my grandparents went to their corn field to pick 1 ear each for dinner. Grandma said the corn was no good if it was more than an hour old. That is hard to do in this day and age but we will do our best.
