Pain Is Good Carolina Reaper BBQ Sauce

This Carolina Reaper BBQ Sauce does not creep in politely; it storms the room, kicks over the furniture and dares you to pretend you are coping. The Pain Is Good lot have folded Reaper fire into smoky chilli, molasses and a sharp hit of orange, creating a sauce that behaves like a proper barbecue glaze before dropping the hammer. I tried it on brisket and immediately questioned several life choices, but the flavour is undeniable — rich, smoky, citrus-tinged and stubbornly addictive. Slather it on wings, ribs or anything that deserves both respect and punishment. Use with enthusiasm, but not hubris.
