I love the look of that Corbaci pepper. The Shi$hito look amazing too.. I can almost taste em...

Best thing I like about too many peppers is you can just huck them in a ziplock and throw in the deep freeze and they keep perfectly. Only takes a second for them to thaw enough to cut up for dinner.
Also love making sweet pickled peppers with a hot one thrown in. I just chop em up, pack into jars, and pour the hot brine over them. Once they cooled and sealed I keep the jars in the fridge. Then when guests show up at Christmas time, I scatter them over some chopped cheese and there is my 'cheese tray'. And the brine is super tasty for marinades.


I keep telling myself - homegrown peppers.. priceless. Why because I have so many aphids on my couple of indoor pepper plants, the labor of maintaining them is making the price per pepper.. ridiculous.

I really have no desire to eat one, I have the desire to grow a few next year, they look Awsum!

On another note... made peach/ peach habanero hot sauce (1st batch) this weekend... Total failure! It went perfectly, my kitchen smelled like heaven! It was totally done ready to pour in bottles... My helper has been used to unlocking the food processor, but this was the blender(all you have to do is pick it up)... Lost the whole batch all over the counters and floors! Lol!
Like I say... "Never had a bad day... Some are just better, than others..."

They had a write up in a local paper a couple weeks ago about a guy that bought a couple cells of mystery peppers 5 years ago, they were red Marconi or giant Marconi, he's been growing them them ever since. They are huge! 10-12" long this year. Mine are huge also.

I just cut those up for seeds. I didnt taste them, but based on aroma, they were not as fragrant as other super hots i like, such as Fatali and Black Naga. For cooking use, I put 1 to 3 peppers in about a pound of dried beans or lentils.
