Trader Joes Jalapeno Pepper Hot Sauce 5 Fl oz Pack of 3

Trader Joe’s Jalapeño Pepper Hot Sauce is very tasty. It isn’t super hot but has some good heat and a sharp acidic bite that I really like. This hot sauce is unique because I actually use it more as a marinade than I do a condiment. Believe it or not, I’ll pour it over chicken, beef, or a porkchop in the morning for grilling, roasting, or pan frying at dinner. Many hot sauces will burn and char (usually because of sugar) but this hot sauce holds up really well. The flavor is very bold: the acidic bite is coupled with a nice saltiness and a hint of bitter. The heat is a good tingle and is supported with a very fine touch of smokiness—I might even suggest it is aged in a wood barrel prior to bottling. Also note, it only has three ingredients. It does make a great marinade and a fantastic buffalo sauce.
