Peach first, heat second. A good peach hot sauce tastes like fruit before it tastes like pepper, and the heat arrives a beat later. That delay is the whole appeal — and the reason Sweet Regret is named what it is.
In short: Peach hot sauce is a sweet-heat sauce built on real peaches with chili peppers for warmth. Sweet Regret is a mild peach hot sauce made with peaches, cane sugar, red chili puree, green jalapeño, cayenne and a touch of capsicum oil, with Vidalia onions and tomato for savory balance. It is best used as a glaze on grilled pork and chicken, over cream cheese, or anywhere you would use barbecue sauce. $12 for 5 FL OZ.
What does peach hot sauce taste like?
Sweet and fruity up front, then a gentle, building warmth. In Sweet Regret the peach and cane sugar lead, the red chili and jalapeño come in behind them, and cayenne and capsicum oil give the finish a little bite. Vidalia onions and dehydrated tomato keep it from tasting like jam — it reads as a sauce, not a preserve.
How hot is Sweet Regret?
Mild. It sits at the bottom of our heat scale next to First Mistake, below the jalapeño bottle. If you are cautious about spicy food, this and the garlic bottle are the two safest starting points in the lineup. The sweetness is the trap: it goes down easily, and the heat stacks up over a second and third pour.
What to put peach hot sauce on
- Grilled pork chops and tenderloin. Brush it on in the last three or four minutes so the sugar caramelizes without burning.
- Chicken thighs and wings. A sticky, sweet-heat glaze that does not need a second sauce.
- Shrimp skewers. Toss after cooking, not before.
- Cream cheese and crackers. Pour it over a block of cream cheese — the classic pepper-jelly move, with more going on.
- Breakfast sandwiches. Egg, sausage, cheese and a spoon of Sweet Regret.
- As a barbecue sauce swap. Anywhere you reach for BBQ sauce and want more bite.
Because it contains sugar, add it at the end of cooking or at the table. When to add hot sauce explains why sweet sauces burn if they go on too early.
