Jump Up & Kiss Me is Back!
Just in time for Valentine's Day, the original Jump Up & Kiss Me Hot Sauce is available and back in stock again at the Carolina Sauce Company! Out of stock at the manufacturer level for several months, Jump Up & Kiss Me arrived in our warehouse this afternoon, fresh from our supplier (who, in turn, had just received this fresh batch from the manufacturer). Created by a chef and food writer, this all-natural gourmet hot sauce is brimming with layers of flavor and rich texture that make it a favorite of foodies and regular folks with good taste. Moderately spicy rather than fiery-hot, Jump Up & Kiss Me artistically blends habanero peppers and other savory ingredients with papaya, honey and ginger in a tangy mustard-vinegar base for an intriguingly delicious sauce that complements meat, chicken, lamb, grilled vegetables, and more. One taste and you'll understand why Jump Up & Kiss Me is known as the "original hot sauce with passion"!Zestfully yours,
Gloria
PS: The original Jump Up & Kiss Me Hot Sauce has no salt and zero carbohydrates per teaspoon - and you won't miss either.

Is Hot Sauce an Aphrodisiac?
Many cultures throughout history have believed that hot and spicy foods, especially chili peppers, are aphrodisiacs, probably because of the "rush" or "burn" one experiences from eating hot peppers, and possibly also due to the shape and red color of certain chilies. Scientific studies now suggest that there may be some truth to this belief because eating spicy foods stimulates the release of endorphins. Here are five other legendary aphrodisiacs that just might light your (or your loved one's) fire this Valentine's Day:
1. Raw oysters on the half-shell, especially with a dash of your favorite hot sauce -- a staff favorite here is Blues Habanero Reserve
2. Chocolate, whether eaten as dessert or enjoyed as a beverage. The Mayans spiked their hot cocoa with chilies for added effect. For a uniquely delicious blend of sweet chocolate and spicy heat, drizzle some Toad Sweat Chocolate Orange Dessert Hot Sauce over cheesecake or ice cream
3. Figs were seen as erotic treats by ancient Mediterraneans. Their seductively rich flavor shines in the enticingly exotic Olio & Spices BBQ Fig Sauce from Israel, which comes with free recipes AND is on sale!
4. Pineapple is used in homeopathy to help spark libido. Susie's Spicy Pineapple Pleasure blends sweet tropical pineapple with just the right touch of hot peppers to spark your tastebuds... and maybe more??
5. Ginger stimulates the circulatory system, which may be why some cultures believe it also stimulates passion. Find out for yourself when you splash Tortuga Mango & Ginger Stir-Fry Sauce on your favorite stir-fry dishes or other Asian fare!

Top Ten Best-Selling BBQ Sauces for 2010
Here is the list of the Top Ten best-selling barbecue sauces at the Carolina Sauce Company online store for 2010:
1. For the second straight year, Wells Hog Heaven Barbecue Sauce was our best-selling BBQ sauce. This is an authentic eastern NC vinegar-based barbecue sauce (no tomatoes) made in the tiny hamlet of Burgaw outside of Wilmington, and is ideal for Carolina pork barbecue.
2. Scott's Barbecue Sauce from Goldsboro NC is also a traditional eastern NC vinegar barbecue sauce, and it moved up two slots from 2009 to finish in second place last year. Scott's BBQ Sauce traces its roots back to 1917, and it packs a peppery-hot kick, making it ideal for folks who enjoy spicy foods.
3. Jim's Own Homestyle Bar-B-Que Sauce from Durham NC took third place honors for 2010. This tangy-sweet Piedmont style BBQ sauce (vinegar, tomatoes, sugar & a touch of pepper) comes in three convenient sizes (pints, quarts. and mini-jars that make great party favors). Not just for pulled pork BBQ, Jim's Own Sauce is also great as a marinade for chicken and ribs -- plus you get free recipes when you buy it from us!
4. Outta the Park BBQ Sauce, also made in North Carolina, was the fourth best-selling barbecue sauce last year. This award-winning tomato BBQ sauce is thick and rich (not a Carolina style sauce), made with all-natural ingredients, and is perfect for slathering on ribs & chicken. It also comes with free recipes, and is on sale at the Carolina Sauce Company!
5. Moving up from 9th in 2009 to 5th in 2010 is J.T. Pappy's Flamin' Gator Sauce, a tangy medium-spicy mustard-tomato barbecue sauce made with all-natural ingredients. This Gator Sauce is great with all sorts of meat and chicken, and rumor has it that it's also tasty on alligator.
6. JT Pappy's Hickory Heaven Barbecue Sauce is similar to its Gator Sauce sibling, but milder on the heat scale and with a pleasantly smoky flavor. If you like your BBQ sauce with rich savory flavor but without a peppery bite, this is the sauce for you.
7. If you prefer spicy-hot barbecue sauce with savory mustard-tomato flavor, you'll love J.T. Pappy's Gator Grenade BBQ Sauce, the hotter version of the 5th and 6th place finishers. Enjoy it on ribs, chicken, pork chops, burgers and other hearty fare -- and with a cold drink on hand to help quench the fire!
8. If you enjoy Jamaican jerk and other exotic flavors, our 8th place finisher is for you: Walkerswood Jamaican Jerk Barbecue Sauce blends traditional jerk seasonings with ripe bananas and other tropical ingredients for a delicious island sauce that's wonderful with pork, seafood, chicken and more.
9. J.T. Pappy's Mild Gator Sauce is comparable in heat to the Hickory Heaven Sauce but without the smoky flavor. This mild but tasty barbecue sauce is a favorite of kids as well as folks with more sensitive palates who still appreciate great flavor.
10. Completing our list of 2010's top ten best-selling BBQ sauces (and repeating its 2009 finish) is the original Bone Suckin' Sauce, a western NC style barbecue sauce that blends sweet tomatoes with vinegar and a touch of spice for a sauce that has more body than eastern NC sauces but still delivers that trademark Carolina tang. It comes with free recipes, too!

Top 10 Best-Selling Hot Sauces for 2010
Here is the list of the top ten best-selling hot sauces at the Carolina Sauce Company for all of 2010:
1. Matouk's West Indian Hot Sauce moved up from its second-place finish in 2009 to take top honors as our best-selling hot sauce for 2010. Made in Trinidad & Tobago from fiery scotch bonnet peppers and sweet tropical papaya, this flavorful island hot sauce is great with chicken and seafood as well as meats and veggies.
2. Matouk's Calypso Sauce also moved up a spot from 2009 to 2010. Hotter than Matouk's West Indian sauce with a more savory flavor, Matouk's Calypso features scotch bonnets in a thick and tangy mustard base and is great with all sorts of hearty fare, especially grilled food.
3. Making a dramatic leap from the previous year, Matouk's Salsa Picante Hot Pepper Sauce finished third in 2010. This traditional Caribbean hot sauce is made with aged, pickled scotch bonnet peppers in a spicy, savory mustard base, and is beloved for its versatility and heat.
4. Scorned Woman Hot Sauce is a classic vinegar-based hot sauce made with black pepper and several different types of chile peppers for tangy, fiery heat. Aptly named after the saying that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, this all-purpose hot sauce regularly finishes in the top 5 of our best-selling hot sauce lists.
5. Busha Browne's Pukka Sauce is another regular top-5 finisher and is our best-selling hot sauce of all time. Made in Jamaica and inspired by old colonial recipes, Pukka Sauce is great with everything from scrambled eggs to burgers & pizza to dinner entrees including seafood, steak, chicken, pork and more.
6. A favorite of folks who focus on fabulous flavors rather than fiery heat, Georgia Peach and Vidalia Onion Hot Sauce is gently spicy and brimming with the bright flavors of ripe peaches and mellow Vidalia onions. Like summer sunshine in a bottle, this delightful sauce complements meat, poultry, seafood, veggies and even rice dishes.
7. Finishing seventh on our list of best-selling hot sauces for the second year in a row, Matouk's Flambeau Sauce is about as hot as you can get without adding pepper extract or capsaicin oil. Not for the faint-hearted, Matouk's Flambeau features an outrageous quantity of the hottest aged pickled scotch bonnet peppers available, in a traditional West Indian mustard base. Ideal for robust dishes, a little Flambeau sauce goes a long way!
8. In contrast to Matouk's Flambeau, Capsicana Zing Gourmet Sauce is a subtly sweet and mildly spicy gourmet sauce from North Carolina that anyone, including kids and others with more sensitive palates, can enjoy. Zing Sauce adds mouthwatering flavor at the table and as a cooking ingredient. You can get it in 5 oz and 10 oz bottles, and it comes with a free recipe sheet!
9. Walkerswood Jonkanoo Pepper Sauce moved up a spot from 10th in 2009 to 9th in 2010. Made in Jamaica and named after a traditional street festival that's colorful and lively, this feisty hot sauce is true to its name. Enjoy Jonkanoo Sauce on all types of savory foods that could use a burst of tropical flavor and fire.
10. Completing our list of the top ten best selling hot sauces for 2010 and making its debut on this annual list is Dave's Ghost Pepper Naga Jolokia Hot Sauce. Made with the world's hottest pepper and spiked with pepper extract, Dave's Ghost Pepper Sauce is best used with caution, just one drop at a time. It also makes a great gift for anyone who brags that no hot sauce is hot enough for them!

Homerun Chicken Wings
Here's another finger-lickin-good recipe from the makers of Outta the Park BBQ Sauce. If you're tired of ordinary Buffalo wings, or want to serve less-spicy but flavor-packed wings for the big game this Sunday, Homerun Chicken Wings won't disappoint!
Ingredients
2-3 lbs raw chicken wings
Salt and pepper, other seasonings such as paprika if desired
1 bottle of Outta the Park BBQ Sauce
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Wooden skewers (or extra long toothpicks)
Regular size muffin pans
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place wings in bowl and season with salt, pepper & paprika or other desired seasonings. Insert skewers into wings, perpendicular to bone with meaty sides up. Place skewered wings in muffin pans with bone sides down so that wings are suspended in muffin cups (the cups will catch the fat drippings). Bake 25-30 minutes or until done. Remove from oven, remove skewers and place wings in a large clean bowl. Add Outta the Park BBQ Sauce and toss until wings are coated thoroughly. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately, or keep warm in crock pot for party guests to enjoy (add the cilantro at serving, not in the crockpot).
Zestfully yours,
Gloria
PS: Outta the Park BBQ Sauce is on sale at the Carolina Sauce Company, AND we'll also send you a free recipe card when you order it from us!

Outta the Park Meatballs
This mouthwatering recipe is from the makers of Outta the Park BBQ Sauce, an award-winning, all-natural, thick and tasty tomato-based barbecue sauce that's delicious with ribs, chicken, shrimp and more. It's also one of my favorite barbecue sauces, and a regular best-seller at the Carolina Sauce Company. If you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer to serve for the big game this Sunday, Outta the Park Meatballs are a winner!
Ingredients
2 lbs. Ground Beef
1 lb. Ground Pork
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs*
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
3 TBS Outta the Park BBQ Sauce (save the rest of the bottle for saucing the meatballs in a crockpot)
1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
*Season plain bread crumbs with salt, pepper, parsley, garlic powder & onion powder
In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients, using your hands to mix thoroughly. Gather the mixture into a ball and then form into meatballs roughly 1" in diameter.
In a shallow bowl, combine extra breadcrumbs and Parmesan along with salt and pepper and dredge each meatball in the mix, coating thoroughly. Cook meatballs in frying pan over medium heat until done, or bake using mini-muffin pans. To bake, pierce each meatball through its center with a toothpick and suspend each meatball in the muffin cups, which will catch fat drippings. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until done, then remove toothpicks.
Place cooked meatballs in a warmed crockpot. Add 1 Bottle of Outta the Park BBQ Sauce to crockpot. Serve hot and enjoy!

Buderim Ginger Bears are Back!
Ginger lovers rejoice: Buderim Ginger Bears are finally back in stock again at the Carolina Sauce Company! A fresh new batch of these zingy gummy bears from Australia arrived at the Carolina Sauce warehouse earlier today, and these babies have been flying off the shelves from the moment I re-activated the ginger bears order page on our website. In fact, we've already sold more than half of the inventory we received today, so if you've been waiting to get your ginger bear fix and haven't yet placed your order with us, I encourage you to do so as soon as possible before we run out (again). Zestfully yours,
Gloria
