Cerasus in Red Death Hot Sauce
“Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the madness and the horror of blood....and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.” - Masque of the Red Death, Poe
Equal parts delicious and devastating, Cerasus in Red Death is our most imposing brew thus far. Saskatchewan's own signature sour cherries (Prunus Cerasus X) provide a deep crimson backdrop for the heat of the mighty Carolina Reaper. Lemon juice, maple syrup, and a hint of coffee temper the heat and round out this simple concoction. This sauce is adventurous, visually arresting and utterly apocalyptic all at once.
Heat Level: VI (Fairly hot)
Ingredients: Saskatchewan sour cherries, vinegar, red wine vinegar, sweet onion, bell peppers, lemon juice, celery, Carolina reaper peppers, maple syrup, spices.

Canto XXVI was founded in 2019 by artist and pepper enthusiast Cate Francis in a humble effort to supply her inner circle with fresh, flavorful sauces that she had yet to see on store shelves. But in short order rumors of her sauce sorcery escaped the laboratory resulting in a sudden and ever growing demand. Thus CANTO hot sauce was born.
