Melinda's Spicy Ketchups

I love ketchup. There, I've admitted it. Always have loved it, and always will. As a kid, I'd slather it on almost everything except dessert. As an adult, however, the red stuff found in grocery stores is not my preference as it's too sweet, with a boring one-dimensional flavor and no zip, plus it usually has high-fructose corn syrup. If you think you've outgrown ketchup for those reasons, or if you've only had grocery store brands, let me introduce you to a new world of ketchup, courtesy of Melinda's Spicy Ketchups. These all-natural ketchups are packed with real tomato flavor, sweetened with sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, and spiced with just the right amount of hot chile peppers for a zesty kick that will complement, not overpower, your foods.

Melinda's Jalapeno Ketchup has a tangy, peppery zip that's on the mild-medium side, making it perfect for scrambled eggs and other breakfast dishes, as well as for any other normal "ketchup application" that could use a wake-up call. If you have adventurous kids who enjoy a bit of spice, I'll bet they'll love this ketchup. If you like food with zip but not fiery heat, then this is the Melinda's Ketchup for you. On the other hand, if you live for fire, then check out Melinda's Habanero Ketchup, with a seriously fiery habanero kick! It's especially good with heartier fare like burgers and other grilled meats, or in recipes where you want to ratchet up the heat (hot & spicy meatloaf, anyone?). And if you enjoy earthy, smoky flavors, then Melinda's Chipotle Ketchup is sure to make you smile. Made with real chipotles (smoked jalapenos), this rich, complex ketchup is also great on burgers and anything grilled, as well as with Tex-Mex egg or sausage breakfast dishes. And of course you can dip french fries and onion rings in any of Melinda's Ketchups.

You can get all three flavors of Melinda's Spicy Ketchups at the Carolina Sauce Company online store.

Zestfully yours,
