Quarantine Project ~ Picky Ricky
Picky Ricky was the first sauce we developed. It's simple and versatile, with roasted jalapenos, roasted garlic, toasted onion, and not much else! It makes a great table sauce to go on just about anything, but is especially good on cheesy and creamy dishes like mac and cheese, eggs, and quesadillas!

About The Maker
The Quarantine Project story starts on a blustery December day in 2020. Rick DeSimone, having spent the summer outdoors, tending to the yard and playing disc golf, was sequestered indoors. During a break in a Netflix binge, he went scavenging for boredom snacks.
The pantry was bleak, barren, devoid of any salty or sweet goodies to munch on while watching 30 Rock for the 18th time. Ready to give up, something at the back of the snack shelf caught his eye. It was a quiet, unassuming brown box.
Dusting off the label, Rick saw it was a hot sauce making kit that he’d received as a Christmas gift years prior. He’d always enjoyed spicy foods, so the possibilities piqued his interest. With little else to do and the indentation in his couch cushion growing depressingly large, he decided it was time to use it.
