HAENERTSBURG – Halkon has been making these sauces since his varsity days in Bournemouth, UK and some of his recipes are more than eight years old.
Bottled with labels carrying the logo of a black and white Dachshund with the Iron Crown gold crown logo at a precarious tilt on the dog’s head. When asked why a Dachshund, Halkon grins and says: “Because the product goes for the throat”.
The heat goes across the board. However, the hottest chilli sauce, the Carolina Reaper, is the hottest chilli in the world. Some of the ingredients, like the lemon concentrate and smoke essence, are difficult to find. Halkon is marketing six flavours at the moment, however, not all are chilli sauces.
There’s the Bourbon BBQ that complements the Iron Crown Ribs and Tennessee Burger and another BBQ sauce in the making. This one will be a creamy garlic sauce with wine.
The chilli sauces are Tongue Thai, Mango Mayhem, Crazy Capsicum and Raging Relish. One is Mexican style while the Thai chilli sauce has ginger. The fiery Indian chilli sauce has curry leaves and the Portuguese sauce is peri-peri style.
The sauces are being sold at the Iron Crown, FoodZone and Greenwood Trading in Haenertsburg and at Super Meat City in Tzaneen.
