Sweet Peach. Sneaky Heat. Addictive Results.
Texas Pepper Jelly's Peachy Peach Habanero Rib Candy is a 17 oz bottle of sweet, fruity, lightly spicy sauce made with real peach juice — not artificial flavouring, not "peach-inspired," actual peach juice. The result is a fragrant, authentic peach flavour with a warm habanero finish that sneaks up on you in the best possible way. Drizzle it on ribs as a glaze and you'll understand why they call it "Rib Candy."
What makes it special:
Most fruit-flavoured BBQ sauces use artificial flavouring or just a token amount of real fruit. Texas Pepper Jelly uses real peach juice as the foundation, and you can absolutely taste the difference. The peach flavour is fragrant and sweet — not cloying or artificial — and the habanero heat builds gradually without overwhelming the fruit. It's a sauce that tastes like someone actually cared about getting the balance right.
How to use it:
-
Rib glaze: Drizzle directly over ribs during the last 15-20 minutes of your cook — the sugars caramelize beautifully
-
Wing sauce: Toss smoked or grilled wings in it for a sweet-heat finish
-
Pork chop glaze: Peach and pork is a classic combination for a reason
-
Chicken thighs: Brush on during the last few minutes for a sticky, flavourful glaze
-
Baking: Replace some of the liquid in pie or cobbler recipes for a peach-habanero twist
-
Straight from the bottle: Use it as a dipping sauce for chicken fingers, nuggets, or spring rolls
