How can anyone resist a sweetly packaged, sunset-colored jam disconcertingly named "Triple X"?
Well, my husband shook his head in a vigorous no, but I couldn't help but stop to inquire when I passed by the Jams-n-Things booth at Groovefest 2012 in Cedar City, Utah.
Triple X is made with habanero peppers, so saying it packs a punch is an understatement. I requested a sample, and the proprietors, after repeatedly asking if I was sure, pointed out the closest water fountain.
I took a deep breath and went for it, quickly popping tiny tasting spoon into my mouth before I could change my mind.
Yowsa!! This is hot stuff, baby! My mouth was on fire for a good 15 minutes, until a cool and fruity Texas twister doused the flames.
Even though I'm not a fan of extreme spiciness or heat, I had to buy a jar. I want to develop a recipe using Triple X. I want to see if I can make a dish that's adventurous but palatable.
I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
This product review actually made my mouth water in anticipation. I love spicy food, and I'd love to sample your recipe concoction once it's ready.
