Hillbillie Salsa Is Very Versatile
Hillbillie Salsa Comes in Mild or Hot
New Hillbillie Salsa is a sweet and tangy salsa with a nice bite that is used traditionally for dipping a chip, but there are so many more uses. You can add it to meatloaf recipes, use it as a topping for roasted or grilled chicken or pork chops, or as a substitute for overly sweet ketchup on a hamburger or hot dog. Using Hillbillie Salsa can be as simple as adding a cup of it tocooked rice, basting with it instead of butter, or using it as an ingredient in a reduced fat recipe. Some other uses for mild or hot Hillbillie Salsas include: replacing heavy sauces and gravies; as toppings for baked potatoes, fish, and chicken dishes; replacing high fat condiments such as butter or margarine, sour cream, mayonnaise, or guacamole; and even as a salad dressing substitution.

BlackMustard Barbecue Slather Is the Next Generation of BBQ Sauces
BlackMustard BBQ Slather
BlackMustard Barbecue Slather is a true evolution in South Carolina-style mustard barbecue sauce. Created in a family kitchen in Columbia for a Fourth of July party in 2004, BlackMustard Barbecue Slather has become the toast of family gatherings across the South Carolina midlands. Soon demand was outstripping capacity and the creators went in search of a way to bring this concoction to the masses.
BlackMustard Barbecue Slather is a thick, almost paste-like sauce, says David White, president of BlackMustard, Inc. “Slather is not so over-processed that is runs all over the plate,” he notes. "It stays right where you want it: on the food.” White is circumspect when it comes to discussing the contents of BlackMustard Barbecue Slather. In fact, about the only thing he is willing to say is, “It’s got mustard in it and a bunch of other ingredients.”
BlackMustard Barbecue Slather has made the jump from kitchen hobby to a sideline business for White, who is president and creative director of an advertising agency.
“We’ve been lucky to have a few investors who believe in BlackMustard and have helped get us this far,” says White. “And, with any luck, the next round of capital investment will allow us to begin a concentrated marketing campaign” In the meantime, word of mouth is driving more and more people to find BlackMustard Barbecue Slather on the Internet at www.BBQSlather.com
“It’s a great tasting sauce on chicken, pork, and brats,” notes White. “We’ve even made potato salad, tartar sauce and deviled eggs with Barbecue Slather. They were the ugliest deviled eggs you’ve ever seen but they were mighty tasty.”

Elephant Pepper Products Available in U.S.
Elephant Pepper Sauce
First there was dolphin-safe tuna, then came fair-trade coffee. Now, hot sauce lovers can get into the act with a line of “Elephant Pepper” chili products that help protect elephants in southern Africa, and are available in the United States for the first time, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
Elephant Pepper produces high quality, delicious, and uniquely African chili products—Zambezi Red, Baobab Gold, Chili Jam and Chili Relish. With the production of these sauces, Elephant Pepper seeks to create new economic opportunities for rural Africans and support efforts to safely reduce the conflict between elephants and humans in Africa. The project brings sustainable financial, social, and environmental benefit to its stakeholders by linking African farmers to a global marketplace and raising awareness around successful approaches to elephant conservation.
“Chili peppers give farmers an economically feasible means of keeping elephants away from valuable crops through non-lethal methods,” said Loki Osborn, project director for the Elephant Pepper Development Trust, a project supported by WCS. “The chilies grown by the farmers are used to make great hot sauce products, all of which are now available in the United States.”
Osborn originated the idea of Elephant Pepper in 1997, when he found that chili peppers could be used as a means of stopping elephants from destroying crops in the Zambezi Valley, which straddles the borders of Zimbabwe and Zambia. While electric fences and other deterrents are prohibitively expensive, chilies provide farmers with a cost-effective means of warding off the elephants without inflicting them with permanent damage.
Specifically, elephants do not like capsaicin—the chemical in chili which makes them hot. Farmers use chili peppers to deter potential crop raiders in three ways: as a protective buffer crop to surround core crops of maize, sorghum and millet; by mixing crushed chilies with used grease, which the farmers apply to simple string fences; and by mixing crushed chili with animal dung to make briquettes which they burn at night, creating a noxious smoke to keep elephants out. The chilies are then harvested and sold to the Elephant Pepper brand for hot sauce products, which are marketed in South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, and now the United States. Proceeds from the sales of those products are then donated to the trust to support to the development of more chili growing projects.
“The response by the American public to our product has been overwhelming,” explained Marketing Manager Nina Gibson. “Still our major challenge is to identify a distributor who would like to get involved with this socially responsible brand, and contribute to economic development in Africa. The brand needs a partner who will see the long term benefit of the project.”
“This is a great example of how conservation and development can be successfully combined into a win-win situation,” said Dr. James Deutsch, director of WCS’ Africa Program. “The Elephant Pepper product line now offers U.S. consumers a means of supporting both elephants and sustainable development in Africa.”
The U.S. launch initiative is supported by USAID-Market Access Trade and Policies and the AGOA-Southern Africa Global Competitiveness Hub. The American public can support the project by buying sauces on www.elephantpepper.com or donate to the project on www.wcs.org/elephantpepper.
