Hint of Fire is the heat-forward half of our barbeque powder pair — the same tomato, honey, apple cider vinegar, and house Worcestershire backbone as Hint of Honey, built for the cook who wants the chile out front. The honey and brown sugar are still in the blend to balance it, but here the chiles set the tone, and the heat builds as the powder concentrates down into a sauce. Add water and it simmers into a hot barbeque sauce; work it in dry and it becomes a rub or a fiery glaze. The sugar caramelizes under flame, so a blend like this wants a careful eye near the grill — pull it before the edges char, and reach for Hint of Honey if you want the same build without the heat.

Suggested Uses

Barbeque Sauce — Whisk one part powder into two parts warm water with a tablespoon of butter and simmer two minutes; the butter pulls out the chile and spice the water can't, and the heat concentrates as it reduces — thin it back with water if it gets ahead of you.

Spicy Popcorn — Toss hot, just-buttered popcorn with about a teaspoon of powder per few cups while it's still warm so it grabs the surface; the butter is what makes it stick.

Hot Wings — Stir two tablespoons with enough water to brush, then glaze wings in the last ten minutes so the sugar lacquers and the chile bites. Pull before the edges char.

Seafood Butter — Stir a teaspoon into two tablespoons of melted butter and spoon it over grilled shrimp or steamed crab; the heat lifts the sweetness of the shellfish without burying it.

Grilled Corn — Brush ears with oil and grill to char, then dust with powder off the heat so the chile cuts the sweetness of the corn and the blend's sugar plays against the char.

Chili — Stir two to three tablespoons into a pot of chili in the last half hour; the tomato, vinegar, and chile are already the backbone of the dish, so it seasons in one move. Hold the salt — the blend is carrying plenty.

Bloody Mary or Michelada (spiced beer cocktail) — Tomato, Worcestershire, and chile are the savory backbone of both drinks, so rim the glass with the powder or stir a half-teaspoon into the mix for heat and depth.
