Spicy Recipes
Cooper's Small Batch Hot Sauces pair amazingly with recipes from around the world. Our hot sauces are designed to pair well with food, not overwhelm. You will find each of our hot sauces brightens different recipes in wonderful ways. From using our Jerk Hot Sauce to make a delicious Jerk Chicken Wings Recipe, or using our award winning Tomatillo Hot Sauce to make a Cold Pasta Salad or pour on a morning burrito. Try our Brisket with Red Chile Posole that uses our famous Chipotle hot sauce, Smokin' Hot Date. Want an alternative to spicy jam, try our two fruit hot sauces.
Each of our eight Colorado Hot Sauces are made from scratch in Denver, Colorado, with all-natural ingredients. We don't ever use preservatives, thickeners or fillers, we use fresh chiles, garlic, onions, dates and other spices to make food-friendly hot sauces that elevate any dish.
