A few years ago we grew some Trinidad Scorpion chilis right in our own garden, and they ended up pretty darned hot. They made for an excellent hot
sauce, with a rich fruity flavor that was frankly well worth surviving the heat.

chilis
That statement about being face f' ed by satan just breaks me up. Thanks for the best description of being lit up by mother natures warmest embrace.
If that doesn't bring a smile and a laugh we are dead already.

Hotest ones calledCarolina Reapers and are grown in S. Carolina =
ABC News - 3 days ago
The heat of a pepper is measured in Scoville Heat Units. Zero is bland, and a regular jalapeno pepper registers around 5,000 on the Scoville scale.
Currie's world record batch of Carolina Reapers comes in at 1,569,300 Scoville Heat Units, with an individual pepper measured at 2.2
million. Pepper spray weighs in at about 2 million Scoville Units.

Just ran across this old thread.
I'm in the process of growing about 50 seeds of these Carolina Reaper hot chilis in a quasi hot house in my garage, ie light bulb, clear rap over
growing containers. Then into the 1/2 wine barrels in the back yard. Once they are a few months old I'll keep about 5 of the healthiest and give the
rest away to my enemies.
I put other hot chillis I have grown in the past (habaneros, scotch bonnets, jalapenos, etc. the bushes are still producing) in ball jars of vinegar
to store them for up to a year. I use the vinegar and chopped up chilis in many recipes that call for vinegar or just to enhance a dish. Long cooking
or BBQ smoking tones down the heat a bunch and leaves a wonder after taste to the dish.

One of my by best friends (Bill) is one of these hottest chili growing guys and he dries, grinds & packages the stuff. As a result I always have
the hottest stuff on the planet at my dinner table. I have ruined many a dinner with this stuff and I like hot food! I'll try to remember to bring a
batch down to BoLA on my next visit.
Bill gets his seeds from Jim Duffy (mentioned in the article) - Jim works at Solar Turbines as a machinist. I retired from Solar last year.
The chili competition is really funny to me but these guys are dead serious about it.

Did you know that crickets love chilli pepers?
I guess that, like birds, they don't taste the capsaicin. I kept hearing noise outside my door every night and finally went out with a flashlight to
investigate. Lo and behold a chilli pepper Ristras that I bought in New Mexico and hung outside my door was completely covered with crickets that
eventually ate all the dried chilli peppers including the seeds.

I'm frankly (and shirley) baffled by the move to make chili's hotter. I'm no fan of the main chemical, capsaicin but learned that vinegar trick many
years ago. The real flavors that get hidden by the heat factor are truly the essence of why and what I want when I cook or prepare food with them. I
was amazed when I finally got habaneros distilled out to where the flavor meant more than the Heat Units.
If it's the heat you're so attracted to, I've got some boiling oil that will fill the same space...and you won't need to repeat it.....
BTW, if anyone has tips to remove the heat and expose the underlying chili flavors, I'd like to hear them, I'm currently laid up for a few weeks and
could work on some new tasty recipes...

Here are my baby reaper's been growing in the window sill since feb. I have found that drying and turning into a powder takes away a lot of the
extreme heat and brings out the natural smoky flavors of the pepper

This chart is a little out of date as there have been many more hot ones found.

I grow several varieties of chiles every year in my gardens. Pam and I make several varieties of hot sauce from them. Here is where I order my plants
from... https://www.chileplants.com/
They have just about every variety and heat level you could possibly ask for.

Sweetwater,
you should experiment adding some chinese prickly ash to your concoctions, it has a numbing affect which can hide the heat

Lots of wild hot sauces with funny labels. Can't vouch for how any tasted...just wanted the photo.
For a good quick appetizer or entre...I love marinated & grilled peppers.
Some of the sauces I've tried are a little too....mmm...HOT....like this one that's burning a hole in my stomach.
I can't see what you are pointing to on your tongue. But I see what that stuff did to your hair! Very scary!! |

Well , if you're on all those meds I wouldn't ever eat Chinese food again
Also called Shezuan peppercor n , lately I find it labled as prickly ash--not sure why --but it is an unusual experience in food

I've been cheating the heating by making pepper jellies....just enough dilution and heat offset by sweetness and the flavor of the pepper which is my
goal. My last batch of habaneros jelly was a nice orange tint with some heat and full flavor.......mmmmmmmm

an amiga nomad here has/had a chili mfg and internet store, i bought several of hers. Wish i could recall her handle. All were good.
we make our own now using blends but usually seranos as the predominate plus carrots in the mash. you have to clean the stems by hand then cook the
mash in vinegar and water mix. Then blend followed by straining the juice/sauce with a chinoise and pestle, wooden - i had to buy mine at a cooking
supply store like restoration hardware but it is the only way for me.
