Miss Anna’s Hot Sauces

With this freezing weather, you need some spice in your life.

(Not that wearing a Mexican wrestling mask to bed isn’t a noble attempt.)

To really turn up the heat, go straight to Miss Anna, a Caribbean native who’s been cooking up her fiery line of sauces and seasonings for 36 years.

On the island of St. Croix, she whips up Hot Pepper Sauce, Rainforest Seasoning, Garlic Habanero, and Caribbean Shake from her grandfather’s recipes. A mind-boggling blend of peppers, curry, garlic, and secret local spices, both the sauce and the shake do things to vegetables that will make you blush. The seasonings add just the right amount of zest to any dish (steak, pizza, chicken).

They’re so addictive, island visitors used to buy as much as they could carry to tide them over until their next trip.

Luckily, Miss Anna now sells online.

Making everything nice.
