Carolina Reaper & Honey Chilli Sauce – Midnight 21 – (hot)

(31 customer reviews)

£4.95

Dark as Midnight, our newest sauce uses the world’s hottest chilli: the Carolina Reaper.  At up to 2.1m SHUs it’s nearly twice as hot as the naga or ghost chilli!

Thick, rich but not over-sweet, first up you get the silkiness of the honey, followed by a mellow hit of gently fried garlic, the tang of dark soy sauce and rice wine vinegar, then an almost impercetible build of heat from the Carolina Reapers.  This sticky sauce makes the perfect marinade for all types of dishes, an indispensable addition to stir fries or pulled pork recipes, or – well, use your imagination…

Thick, rich but not over-sweet, first up you get the silkiness of the honey, followed by a mellow hit of gently fried garlic, the tang of dark soy sauce and rice wine vinegar, then an almost imperceptible build of heat from the Carolina Reapers.  This sticky sauce makes the perfect marinade for all types of dishes, an indispensable addition to stir-frys or pulled pork recipes, or – well, use your imagination…

So yeah, it’s a hot one; one of our hottest yet not the hottest.  How come?  Well, like all of our sauces, the taste has to be the overriding factor.  Use too many Reapers and all you’ll be thinking is “Who drove that nail through my tongue?”  Besides, it was all too predictable to make a crazy hot sauce from the world’s hottest chilli.  What we’ve created here is a showcase of what can be done with a really hot chilli, not what everyone assumes has to be done.

Still hot though but by god it’s delicious!

    Fantastic taste, the sweetness of the honey masks the chilli bite…… almost! Great with everything and very moorish.

  2. AT

    Amazing on barbecued meats and fish.

  3. Kev S (verified owner)

    The best sauce out there. I literally use it on everything!!

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks, Kevin. Took a looooong time to get right that sauce so it means a lot that you took the time out to say that.

  4. Kerry M (verified owner)

    Absolutely fantastic! I tried this at the Essex food show last year and bought a bottle there & then. As the reviews above say, it goes with loads of stuff so it gets used a lot & I’ve had to buy some more. It’s seriously hot, but that honey sweetness is so good… 🙂

  5. Alex VI

    This sauce is so different to any sauce I’ve had before and it’s special. Lovely on seared tuna. It’s hot, but not stupid hot, so it doesn’t kill the flavours.

    I make hot sauces every year, but wouldn’t know how to get even started with this one.

    • Tim Chapman

      Cheers bud! Although it’s based on a simple concept with minimal ingredients, this sauce took ages to get right! I’m now off to get me some tuna steaks.

  6. Will (verified owner)

    Fantastic sauce that improves every dish. A must have for everyone

    • Tim Chapman

      Cheers Will!

    Every year I meet ECCC at the Royal Norfolk Show and try their products. I can tolerate extremely spicy food and most chilli sauces are not for me as they are not hot enough, or they are hot enough but do not have a special taste. Caroline Reaper & Honey Chilli Sauce is THE BEST chilli sauce I have ever tasted. For me it is not particularly hot, but hot enough to have my taste buds activated, and the taste is awesome. Mix this sauce with Greek Joghurt and put on a jacket potato!!! Well, this year the Royal Norfolk Show is not going to happen, and I needed a treat. Thank goodness for the fast delivery service! I can only recommend ECCC 100%, and I am looking forward to meeting you guys again at the Royal Norfolk Show in 2021!!!

    • Tim Chapman

      Ah, thanks Rachel, that;s really made our day! Hopefully see you next year!

    I ordered some more of this excellent sauce after learning that the Ely Food and Drink festival wasn’t happening this year. I can’t thank Tim and the Team enough for their prompt delivery as I’ve been enjoying this sauce on almost everything since it arrived! Sweet and very spicy it’s hot enough for me to know about it with an excellent flavour. I’ll definitely be ordering more again soon as it’s fast become one of my favourites

    • Tim Chapman

      Wow! Thanks Kelly. That’s really kind of you to say so!

  9. Kathleen hendra

  10. Mareks

    Amazing hot sauce. I use it on everything. The sweetness and heat is crafted to perfection. So happy that I tried the products in food festival! Now just keep ordering, all range of products are very tasty and for all heat levels. Recommend to try!

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks bud! That’s really kind of you to say so!

  11. Hayley

    Delicious sauces, perfect for BBQ’s! Will be buying again

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks, Hayley!

  12. Peter Hull

    Sweet without being too much so. Hot without too much pain. Fruity as all-get-out and hints of blackstrap. A new pantry staple!

    • Tim Chapman

      Cheers, Peter!

  13. Liam Lawler

    This is probably the most delicious chilli sauce I have every tasted. My colleague at work bought some at a show and let me try some.. now I’m putting it on everything! I love it. So much flavour with a real kick

    • Tim Chapman

      Cheers, Liam! It’s probably my favourite too!

  14. Andy M (verified owner)

    Amazing sauce! I first purchased this from an Xmas fair and I just had to get some more! Not much is needed each time (for my tastebuds anyway!) so the bottle will last a while… although I now want it on everything 🙂

    • Tim Chapman

      Ha! Thanks. Andy!

  15. Simon (verified owner)

    Without a doubt this is the best chilli sauce I have tried. You must give this a try .

    • Tim Chapman

      Wow! Thanks, Simon!

  16. Rob (verified owner)

    Personally I am not a fan of hot sauce, I bought it for my wife who adores its sweetness and chilli punch. This appears to be a growing addiction for her and she told me to give a “full 5 stars for sure”.

    Originally I bought her a mix pack which she enjoyed but the reaper here is her absolute favourite and now goes on pretty much everything that comes out of the kitchen.

    Also special thanks for speedy dispatch of order during this current situation so many thanks Tim for your work, will be back for more soon I am sure!

    • Tim Chapman

      Thank you, Rob – that’s very kind of you – and your wife is clearly a lady of great taste!

  17. Clare Boulton (verified owner)

    We first bought this from Chatsworth, now order online, by far nicer than any other we have tried. Excellent product and service.

    • Tim Chapman

      Thank you, Clare! That’s really kind of you!

  18. Sam Collins (verified owner)

    First bought this at a food festival last year and now it’s a staple in my house. Not for the faint-hearted but if you can stand the heat, the flavour is delicious.

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks, Sam!

  19. Dw (verified owner)

    First came across this at a Christmas market last year, and love it! A great combination of heat and flavour. Hot but also a little bit sweet, perfect on stir-frys.

    One of the best chilli sauces I’ve tasted.

    • Tim Chapman

      Wow! Thanks, Derek!

  20. Olly Bell (verified owner)

    This sauce is a perfect balance of real heat and delicious flavour; hot enough that tipping the bottle a little too much has me sweating and…contemplating for a bit but the flavour keeps me coming back for more. Really something special and goes with pretty much everything.

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks, Olly!

  21. Jim (verified owner)

    I absolutely love these sauces. For me it’s all about the balance of the right level of heat with taste and have found many other sauces can be just raw heat (and pointless in my opinion). The Carolina Reaper is my particular favourite and works as just a sauce but also in marinades, soups and all sorts of other cooking. I think the only thing i’ve not tried it on is cornflakes!

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks, Jim! I love this in a stir fry too!

  22. Kate (verified owner)

    Love it!!! The heat surprised me a little – don’t ask me why :-)))) – but the flavor is phenomenal! This will make burnt ends stand out for sure, mandatory for wings, and I am sure I’ll think of a million other ways to enjoy it. Brilliant.

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks Kate – this sauce took a lot of getting right! Enjoy!

  23. Guy (verified owner)

    This sauce is so delicious! It retains the beautiful flavour from the chilli, and layers it up with sweetness and tanginess from the honey and soy sauce. Highly recommended – I will be buying many more bottles! Watch out for the heat build up though..

    • Tim Chapman

      Thank you for your kind comments, Guy. It’s much appreciated. This sauce is my personal favourite – only a few ingredients but took me about a year on and off to get right!

  24. Alan N. (verified owner)

    This sauce is awesome!!! Amazing flavour and heat level is spot on. Perfect balance. Cannot recommend enough!!! You won’t regret buying this sauce! I’m on my third bottle and will definitely be getting more!

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks, Alan!!

  25. Adam perrin (verified owner)

    The best ,I use it on all my food ,from spaghetti, to pizza all my food , amazing flavours just seem to make any dish taste even better , won’t go anywhere else, and the price is so good ,

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks, Adam! It’s my personal favourite too!

  26. Gemma

    a lovely sweet but hot sauce we use on so many of dishes spag bol pizza chicken dishes it goes with so much this is one of favourites out of the sauces but to be fair they are all amazing we love them all.

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks, Gemma. It’s my favourite too!

  27. John

    As a seasoned chillihead who has tried maybe a hundred sauces, from jalapeño to reaper and everything in between, I can tell that there is a lot of thought and love behind this product. A truly unique experience that perfectly balances sweetness and heat. Never tried anything like it before. Reminds me of Teriyaki sauce, only better and with a very nice heat kick. Goes especially well with chicken. Bought from a restaurant in Newcastle the other day, I will definitely come back for more! Well done for coming up with this one, Tim.

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks John! That sauce took a lot of time to get just right!

  28. Kris Southgate

    Having met Tim at North Norfolk show I’m now on my 3rd 5xbottle pack of sauces. Favourite flavour is between midnight reaper and garlic and habenero. Generally put them on eggs, homemade kebabs, steak.. actually most things. I’ve introduced other family members to them, and have had no bad things so Tim and co. I doth my cap in your general direction. Keep up the great work.

      Thanks, Dougal! Its my favourite too!

  31. Paul Simmonds (verified owner)

    One of the best hot sauces I’ve tried. Use it on just about everything……even toast and marmite in the morning. I’ll be back for more after Christmas.

    • Tim Chapman

      Thanks, Paul! With toast and marmite for breakfast, eh? I’ll have to try that one!!
