Introducing the "Marinade of the Gods" made with persimmons, also known as the "Fruit of the Gods". This Hot Pepper Persimmon Sauce is not just a sauce; it's a versatile companion for your culinary adventures. Whether you're marinating, saucing, or dipping, this sauce is ready to elevate your holiday dishes. As fall takes off, it brings out these beautiful persimmons, once known as the "Fruits of the Gods", due to their divine or godly scientific Latin name, Diospyros, which means "divine fruit" or "fruit of Zeus". These sweet and rich-flavored fruits are a perfect match for the heat from Calabrian peppers, creating a unique and tantalizing flavor combination.

This recipe is my home-made version of Herdez brand chipotle salsa cremosa, which is a delicious store-bought sauce, but with that, comes the added ingredients for preservation. We eat this sauce on everything from savory breakfast, to tacos, to curry, and much more. 

This recipe is from my Lion's Mane Harissa Sandwich, which was one of the first variations I made on the OG Maple Garlic Skrimpz recipe. It is a delicious and spicy alternative to some of my other, more sweet leaning, sauce recipes.

Tip: Grocery Outlet, stay with the hemp seeds on sale!! (1.5 pounds $9.99 for) I was shocked by the number of you who have shown interest in my Hemp Ceasar Dressing. This is a recipe we often turn to when we're out of our favorite store-bought dressing. I've never really written it down; I'm always just going with my gut. But today, I've put together a recipe that tastes great and provides a nice dose of nutrients from the hemp seeds. In the video, I forgot to add the vegan Worcestershire sauce, and it is needed. It adds a nice savory base to the sauce. 

This sauce is an easy one to blend together for any Asian inspired recipes. It calls for "chili crisp", which I typically find in the sauce isle at the grocery store. You could also substitute with chili sauce.
