After honing our signature recipe in 2024, and encouragement from our faithful taste testers, we decided to launch our own business. We are starting out small, over the coming months we have great aspirations to expand our range of evergreen sauces, as well as limited edition sauce drops.
Back in December 2024 we launched with an initial drop consisting of 4 sauces, from blazingly hot all the way to sweet and spicy, all crafted using 2024's crop of our own homegrown chilli peppers. Our limited edition sauces sold out within days.
In 2025 we are back bringing the heat i! We will also be experimenting with a few new ideas; ketchups, BBQ sauces and kimchi, and a milder take on our signature hot sauce, that we are so happy to be sharing with you.
Our daughter is an avid Pickled Egg muncher, and fed up with paying the exorbitant prices of shop bought pickled eggs, we decided to make our own.
Then after a few birthday & Christmas presents, a pickling book, a fermentation crock and a fair few mason jars, we started to venture out of our comfort zone and make our own Kimchi. Once we got the basics of lacto-fermentation down, we tried our hand at crafting our own hot sauce!
Our first few attempts were not so palatable, but we persevered, We initially branded ourselves as Dan Clarke's Hot Sauce, where we set to work refining our recipe and dialling in the flavour profile and heat levels, Once our friends and family caught wind of what we were up to, jumping at the chance to volunteer to be our guinea pigs, and were constantly asking for more, we knew we were onto some special!
Below you can see each of our first attempts on the road to becoming The Sauce Forge.
