Looks like Habenero we have. Wife got 1 plant, has a bunch of peppers on. I need to figure out how to use them. I'm used to Jalepeno. These things are stupid F'n hot! Tried using 1 in salsa the other day and burned the crap out of my tougue. :mad:
He he, yeah, you need to work up your tolerance level. :) I started in the hot sauce game last summer and now Habaneros are to soft for me. The ones I'm growing are all in the top tier except for one or two plants of Habanero, which is one notch (possibly two) down, I would say.
I fell in love with Chipotle peppers - smoked Jalapenos - but before I finished the first bottle of sauce I had increased my dose from a few drops to a few teaspoons. It soon became too expensive to keep buying finished sauces so I started making my own. It's difficult to find good fresh pepper fruits here, though, and they're pretty pricey too so I decided I needed to grow my own.
Then just a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a shelf full of really strong sauces at a grocery store near our summer house. I bought a Carolina Reaper sauce and boy, that thing is REALLY hot. Carolia Reaper isn't one of the peppers I'm growing, but they are very similar in hotness.
