How many hot pepper fans are on here?
I know Spuriosity is, just wondering if we had any others.
Here are a few of my late peppers I picked yesterday. The big red ones on the Left were supposed to be Carolina Reapers (hottest pepper in the world), but turned out to be Moruga Scorpions (2nd hottest). I'll tell you first hand, there isn't a whole lot of difference in the two when they get that hot!

Re: How many hot pepper fans are on here?
The ones on the left look like Red Habaneros developed by Clemson with a Scovill rating of 300,000. Ghost Peppers are the reputed hottest at 1 million Scovill. I have no use for them. Hot is one thing but one side effect of the Ghost is diarrhea. Great. Flames at both ends. I grow habaneros and make Jelly and hot sauce. I have a gallon of mash that was fermented and has aged in a glass container at 34 degrees F for two years. I'll bottle them in January. Last batch I aged for over a year and it was a good batch. I bottle with 1/3 volume of white vinegar to the mash which I run through a hand-cranked food mill and a thickening agent which holds the color in suspension (Xanthan gum).

Man dig a hole and bury them things deep!!!! No sense in anything being as hot as those peppers are!

True, the Carolina Reapers peak at 2.2 Million and are the Guiness Book of World Records Hottest Pepper in the world. These Moruga Scorpions peak at a bit over 2 Million.DC1. wrote:Carolina Reaper is the hottest at 2,200,000 SHU.GLS wrote:The ones on the left look like Red Habaneros developed by Clemson with a Scovill rating of 300,000.

GLS, the Ghost Pepper is now the 7th hottest pepper in the world.
Some of those do look similar to the Red Savina Habs (577,000 SHUs), but that's just a different phenotype showing itself.
Here is a better view of what they look like.

Re: How many hot pepper fans are on here?
You and Wes need to be in a psycho ward! Anyone that carries around a bottle of pepper sauce to put on everything,.. has got to have problems.
I better shut up though,.... your BBQ is second to none, and Wes's backstrap steaks are,.... !!!
My Serrano's are more than plenty hot for my taste. Lily likes the hot stuff though,... That's why she married me!!!

Re: How many hot pepper fans are on here?
Here's a batch that is aging in the 'fridge. I have a stoneware fermentation vat designed with an airlock that lets out CO2 and keeps out everything else. The vat was made in Europe for making sauerkraut. I pulverize the habaneros in a blender, a measured amount of Kosher salt, and enough water to cover. It takes about 6 weeks to finish fermentation. No cooking is involved and the mash keeps the red color. Once it ages over a year, it improves the taste while keeping the "heat". I run it through a food mill to remove seeds and excess pulp. This batch started with 5 lbs. of homegrown Clemson Reds. Vinegar is added as a preservative when I bottle in 7 oz. bottles available on ebay.
Re: How many hot pepper fans are on here?
GLS what do you do with the mash or liquid napalm? We had two guys at work eat half a reaper each, seeds and all. one lost his hearing for about five minutes and the other puked for at least thirty!!! Thought we were going to have call 911 for him.
Re: How many hot pepper fans are on here?

Ha Ha Ha, I love me some Serranos as well, they are my go to, to put a mild spice in most anything. I got some seeds for Purple Serranos, that I'm going to grow this next spring. Should make for some interesting Salsa!
The Morugas, I don't eat much of, I mostly dry and grind them, and use sparingly for a bit of extra spice when cooking. A couple of buddies and I did sit down and eat a Moruga the other day, and we polished off a gal of milk, and a half gallon of ice cream to go along with it. LOL

Slicky, what are your plans for these little bundles of napalm joy? I like hot, but that's crazy.

I have several vines of jalapeño and cayenne peppers hanging up drying. Make for good pots of pinto beans

Re: How many hot pepper fans are on here?
feller brought some salsa thats made by a mexican women here in Indiana
its a tad hot... burns the thought just a little.. lips tingle etc
best salsa I have ever tried.. ever. I ordered some to take home.
looks like its been blackened and smoked with garlic and something else. I could not stop eating it. I even used my finger to get the remnants from the container.
When I get my order.. I will post up pictures.

I love 'em, but I can't do anything hotter than Trinidads. Eating the stuff is one thing...it's the next day when I want to sit on a snow cone that I can do without.

You develop callouses back there after awhile, and they really don't bother you the second time around.Stinky J Picklestein wrote:I love 'em, but I can't do anything hotter than Trinidads. Eating the stuff is one thing...it's the next day when I want to sit on a snow cone that I can do without.
I am quite fond of habaneros, and grow them every year. They have wonderful flavor as well as plenty of heat. I make a couple of hot sauces with them (and yes Tommy, I do carry a bottle most all the time). One is very simple - just peppers, vinegar, and salt. The other is a Caribbean recipe called Inner Beauty, that is mustard based with a bit of mango and lots of other spices added. It's really good on hot dogs and hamburgers.
I have tried the scorpions and Carolina Reapers. They are insanely hot and only useful for cooking in my opinion. I don't care for them sliced up and eaten along with food like I do the habs. And I absolutely detest all the gimmicky hot sauces out there like Dave's Insanity that use artificial capsicum resin for added heat. They are all heat and no flavor. Nothing like the real deal.
Eating hot peppers is addictive. When you eat them your body releases endorphins, your natural pain killers. These chemicals are also released during exercise and sex, and produce "runner's high". Once hooked, it's hard to get enough. Pass the bottle.

Re: How many hot pepper fans are on here?
Related story: A buddy of mine took some Trinidads to a local bar one time to see if anybody was drunk enough to try 'em. He had the peppers sliced up into little pieces, so of course there was "that one dude" who just "LOVED hot peppers" and said nothing bothers him immediately volunteering. He used his bare hands and popped it into the his mouth. He made it about 30 seconds before downing his beer...and THEN his buddy's beer. The bartender gave him a glass of milk, and he started to settle down. A few minutes later, he went to take a leak...and FORGOT ABOUT HANDLING THE PEPPER earlier! He comes out of the bathroom and asks the bartender for a bowl of milk, and takes it back to bathroom to "dunk the junk". The line of the night came from the bartender..."We don't want the bowl back."

Wes, I already have some Red Savina Hab and Chocolate Hab seeds in hand to grow for next year, along with about a dozen other types. I can't wait until spring, to get them going.Spuriosity wrote:You develop callouses back there after awhile, and they really don't bother you the second time around.Stinky J Picklestein wrote:I love 'em, but I can't do anything hotter than Trinidads.

Re: How many hot pepper fans are on here?
Barry, I was just notified by the Boss. She told me to tell you to bring a few of those seeds when you come. I guess she wants to try some of those bad boys!!!
