Trader Joe's Sweet Potato Habanero Hot Sauce, 148mL

In the collective imagination, autumn flavours aren’t typically associated with a whole lot of heat, per se—and if you ask us, that’s a shame. As we approach the autumn months, and temperatures begin to lower, it’s the perfect time for hearty chilis, capsaicin-loaded curries, super-spicy soups, and red-hot roasted veggies and proteins of all kinds. In support of this autumnal argument, we submit TJ's Sweet Potato Habanero Hot Sauce. Made for TJ's by a famed hot sauce supplier out of Atlanta, Georgia, each batch is made from a base of vinegar, sweet potatoes, and habanero peppers, as well as a mix of autumnally-appropriate spices like cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves.

This marriage of peppery heat and fall flavours results in a one-of-a-kind Hot Sauce that’s as versatile as it is unique. Aside from its use in the afore-mentioned hearty soups and roasts that autumn is known for, it also goes great with everyday fare like pizza, chicken wings, tacos, and all sorts of savoury breakfast options. And for a fiery, dip that makes a great late summer or early autumn appetizer, simply mix a teaspoon or two with Greek Yogurt and enjoy with French fries or Tots.
