My sandwich is not complete without at least a Jalapeno but I prefer more spicy. Actually, had the pleasure of trying some peppers from Papa-Peppers harvest and actually was able to handle them fairly well.
Then again, most of my friends and family know me for my unusual heat tolerance. Wife will let me know when I make the salsa too spicy. (But that's the way I like it)
I ended up dehydrating a number of those peppers and may try making a chili in the not too distant future.
Thanks for sharing you pepper post. 🌶️
Haha thanks!
I like em spicy too or else I would not have grown the ghost peppers. Jalapenos and Chilies are nice and mild and very tasty. I grew habaneros because they are hotter but didn't know whether or not they would be hot enough for a serious hot sauce. So, I grew Ghost peppers because I have friends who are into the sport-level challenge hot.
I think I may have to take it easy on the ghosts for the main sauce so it is edible, and make a second smaller batch of just ghost/habanero for the real masochists to try. ;)
Pepper lovers unite!
Oh forgot to mention. I got some reapers with the batch as well.
They must really vary in heat though as it was not nearly what I expected of over 1 mil Scoville units.
If I had to guess, it was 750k tops. Bet there are certain tricks to get them really producing a lot of capsaicin. Unfortunately my reapers didn't produce this season.
Think my dog has been harassing them. I put some pepper spray in my planter in hopes that will deter them. I think he likes eating leaves sometimes. He's a strange one.
Some people eat pepper leaves in Korea. It is nice with soy sauce and vinegar, especially newer leaves.
I have plenty of pepper leaves that's for sure. I wonder which species is best with Soy sauce and vinegar.
I think the reapers and ghost peppers are similar. I was not even sure they would be hot as this is the first year growing them. Damn impressed with the heat to the point of considering only adding one to my sauce so it is edible. Then I will give some ghosthabanero sauce to @parabyte and burn his ass off. ;)
