As the first hints of summer beckon from Prince George's verdant canopy, the city begins to buzz with palpable anticipation. Not for a mere seasonal shift but for something far spicier—the star-studded BC Gourmet Arts Festival. And this year, there's an intoxicating heatwave sweeping in from our very own Spruce City Elixirs, guaranteed to set the culinary stage ablaze.

Crafted with love, passion, and a dash of local charm, Spruce City Elixirs is a testament to friendship and the fiery pursuit of flavour. Four friends—William Miller, Andrew Sunstrum, Eoin Foley, and Garrett Fedorkiw—have poured their hearts into each bottle, transforming the humble hot sauce into an edible art form.

Leading the way is our premier blend, the Haunted Peach hot sauce. Don't let the name spook you; the Haunted Peach is a harmonious symphony of tangy, sweet, and sour notes with a ghostly whisper of heat. It's a signature blend that embodies the wild spirit of British Columbia, with succulent Okanagan peaches and fiery ghost peppers as the star performers.

This hot sauce isn't just food; it's an experience. Picture it: you're at a backyard barbecue, the sun beaming overhead, the smell of sizzling meats wafting through the air. You take a bite of grilled chicken, and suddenly your taste buds are caught in a spectral dance of sweetness and spice. That's the haunted peach effect.

This summer, we are thrilled to announce that the Haunted Peach has been selected as a featured ingredient in the upcoming Top Taste Challenge at the BC Gourmet Arts Festival on June 11th. As we prepare to introduce our culinary creation to the region's finest chefs, we can't help but feel a rush of excitement. How will they capture the unique essence of Haunted Peach in their masterpieces? The anticipation is as intoxicating as the sauce itself!

To celebrate this thrilling journey, we wanted to share a couple of our favourite recipes that best showcase the versatility of our Haunted Peach hot sauce. From backyard barbecues to Sunday brunches, these dishes promise to add a dash of summer to any occasion.
