\"Heinz<\/a><\/p>\n

For years, Heinz ketchup has been my condiment of choice for French fries and to make my cooking a little more tolerable. <\/p>\n

While Heinz ketchup has changed the flavor of my weak tasting food, the condiment itself has never really moved beyond the formula of tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, and natural flavoring. <\/p>\n

However, a few years ago Heinz came out with a Hot & Spicy variety that was flavored with Tabasco sauce. And last year they came out with a limited edition ketchup blended with balsamic vinegar<\/a> that later became a regular addition. This year, Heinz has released another limited edition ketchup and this time it’s blended with jalape\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

I’ve had a number of jalape\u00f1o products over the years and many of them have been disappointing because while they have the jalape\u00f1o flavor, they also have little to no heat. However, the Limited Edition Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended With Real Jalape\u00f1o has the opposite problem.<\/p>\n

I tried the spicy ketchup by itself, with McDonald’s fries, on a condiment-less Jack in the Box Jumbo Jack, and on top of my awful cooking. I was going to use it to make spicy sketti<\/a>, but I didn’t want to find out if my horrible food was worse than a reality show star’s horrible food.<\/p>\n

On everything I used the jalape\u00f1o-enhance ketchup with, all I initially noticed was the heat. <\/p>\n

On a scale of one to ten, with one being the heat I would feel on the top side of a pillow that has just been slept on for eight hours and ten being the heat one would feel on a pan that has just been in an oven for eight hours, the spiciness of the Limited Edition Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended With Real Jalape\u00f1o would be a four or five. It’s a nice kick that didn’t instantly shock my mouth’s nerves.<\/p>\n

While its spiciness and tomato flavor was wonderful, it’s hard to notice the jalape\u00f1o flavor. Once in a while, I got a hint of it, but it’s definitely not as strong as I hoped it would be. Also, I don’t know if the heat was distracting my taste buds, but the ketchup’s vinegary flavor was slightly lacking. I wouldn’t have minded it so much if it had a jalape\u00f1o flavor to replace it with.<\/p>\n

Overall, the Limited Edition Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended With Real Jalape\u00f1o does make McDonald’s fries, a Jack in the Box Jumbo Jack, and my cooking spicier, but it does just a decent job at helping the awful meals I make taste better. <\/p>\n

Disclosure: I received a free bottle of Limited Edition Heinz Tomato Ketchup Blended With Real Jalape\u00f1o from the fine folks at Heinz in order to review it.<\/b><\/p>\n
