Charlie’s Hard Times Hot Sauce

Charlie’s Hard Times Hot Sauce is a great hot sauce at the right price. Made with pride in Riviera, Florida by Charlie Schandelmayer of Sauce Crafters, you’ll get the satisfaction of supporting a family run business while procuring a mildly spicy and tangy sauce for use on everything from ham to eggs to wings.

Talk about versatile! I mean, how can you lose with this sauce? The main ingredients are red peppers, vinegar, garlic, and chipotle peppers. It may not be particularly adventurous, especially when compared with many of the other offerings to be found at Peppers of Key West, but this is a good, honest hot sauce. Come to think of it, that’s what most Americans are: good, honest, and looking for a good, honest meal!

Plus, I always laugh out loud when I look at this label! A former Wall Street broker who is now just broke (with the “R” crossed out) has come upon hard times and is begging in the street.

Times are tough, so stock up on this gourmet hot sauce that comes without the gilded price tag! Charlie’s Hard Times is a classic Louisiana-style hot sauce, but the addition of chipotle peppers adds a unique smoky dimension that you’re sure to love. We’ve come on hard times before, and the USA has prevailed. In the meantime, the versatility of this sauce from Sauce Crafters is one more thing to be thankful for. Help Peppers of Key West support this American made product. Turn up the heat with Charlie’s Hard Times!
