Salsa of Havana

16 oz Jar

In 1898 Teddy Roosevelt called for volunteers to report to the Menger Hotel in San Antonio. The Rough Riders, as they would soon be known, were headed to Cuba to fight against Spanish colonization. Princeton football players, Pawnee Indians, Rhodes Scholars, and cowboys showed up to volunteer for this mounted cavalry. Will Rominger was there to supply the horses and mules that would be sent by train and boat to Cuba. While in Cuba the men developed an addiction for the steamy, pungent sauce made with the Caribbean's own native pepper, the Habanero. In Spanish, Habanero literally means "of Havana". This pepper is 1000 times hotter than the jalapeno. We make no recommendations how you use this sauce but it is habit forming!
