The Original Flaming Homer's ~ Pineapple Habanero

About The Maker

Living abroad, you often start to crave what was familiar. There is nothing like a taste of home, and necessity is the mother of invention. Heck, it’s how I learned to cook… seeking for a taste of NY Italian while living in the Middle East.

We started crafting hot sauce as a passion because we just couldn’t find the tastes we were looking for. Flaming Homer’s was birthed over many lunch time meetings in the high-tech sector of Tel Aviv Israel, two co-workers and a bottle of the same stinging red-hot sauce, day in day out, thinking that there must be something more than this.

“Let’s make some sauce this weekend” – Sunday Sauce sessions each week in the Betzalel Test Kitchen (the name we dubbed our home kitchen) turned into almost daily events, yielding laughs, coughing fits and burning eyes, endorphins firing on all cylinders, and some homemade Hot Sauce as our bounty. Practice makes more practice and we kept at it, bringing bottles in for co-workers each week, taking notes and tweaking recipes to understand what we were after… cut to 5 years later, Salt Lake City, Utah.
