Yankee Datil Do Ya – Datil Pepper Hot Sauce

Heat: Medium Hot to Slightly Hot

Flavor Profile: Our Yankee Datil Do Ya is the Northerner version of the famous St. Augustine Datil Hot Sauces. We deepen the sweet, fruity and tangy heat of the Datil pepper with complexity. Starting with fire-roasted tomatoes as the base, raw honey locally sourced to balance the fruity sweetness of the Datil. Then Rice Wine vinegar that adds a light clean tartness with crisp mild taste. Finally, a dab of Modena IGP Balsamic vinegar for sweet tartness.

Background: I received the Datil pepper seeds as a gift two years ago. After researching the pepper and growing it for one season, this became a favorite in many recipes. These peppers historically originated in St. Augustine, Florida. They have built a regional cuisine around this flavorful and hot pepper. The hot sauces in the Southern Region the U. S. use ketchup as the base ingredient.
