    Zaxby's Insane Sauce Copycat?

    Is anyone familiar with Zaxby's Insane Sauce? I've been trying to come up with something that's similar to that but of course, they won't divulge their copyrighted sauce ingredients. It seems doubtful (being a commercial restaurant) that they would use anything hotter than Habaneros, but I...

    Why doesn't my hot sauce come out very hot?

    I've made a few different hot sauces with Reapers, orange Habs and Thai dragons and every recipe I've followed calls for sugar so I added it. However, it never seems to come out very hot - not even really as hot as store bought Tabasco sauce sometimes. Does adding a cup of sugar (brown or white)...

    What kind of bug/insect is this?

    Can anyone help me identify these bugs/insects? They are all over a couple of my habanero peppers. Not the leaves, not the stems, but the actual fruit.   Thanks!   Nick

    harvesting Pick Now? Or Wait Until More Have Ripened?

    I have about 80 different pepper plants from Japs, to Habs, to Bell, Thai, Cayenne, etc.    Right now, there are about 5 total peppers spread out between all 80 plants that have ripened to the point of being red. However, there are still many more on each plant that are still green or just...

    Leaves falling off suddenly

    Had anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? Yesterday, all my plants were looking great. Today I go out there and they're still looking great except a whole bunch of green leaves just fell off of several of the plants. I checked the water and it's still very moist. Do they just do that...

    Carolina Reaper Plant Flowers but No Fruit

    I have this Carolina Reaper plant that I got back in December and when I received it, there were already fruits on it and it continued producing a few more fruits until it got too cold. I overwintered the plant and it appeared to work well because the plant itself looks really good right now but...

    Are these peppers supposed to be "leggy" at this stage?

    I have a number of peppers growing that look like they're doing really well, but I'm curious as to why they look so leggy. I'm not sure if they are supposed to look this way or not. All of these peppers are either Grand Bell, Jalapeno or Cayenne.   Do these look good at this stage? Also, do they...

    color Hot sauce with dark color

    I've made a few batches of hot sauce using mostly red cayenne, red chilli peppers from Publix and even a few red Carolina Reapers. I only ever add garlic, vinegar & some salt and it always comes out orange. When I get home sauce from sooner places such as Zaxby's Insane Sauce, it is dark red...

    When to start "hardening" pepper plants

    I'm having a hard time finding on websites exactly when I should start hardening my pepper plants from their indoor conditions to their new place outside and when to take them out of the seed tray and put them into their own pots. I've found varying "time frames" but I'm not sure at what...

    Healthy Cayenne Pepper Plant?

    I received this plant for Christmas which was from a grower at a farmer's market. He told my dad (who bought it for me) that the reason the leaves have holes in them is because he accidentally over-fertilized them.   I've had it now for about 2 weeks and I've added some water and even purchased...

    health Black spots growing on my Carolina Reaper Fruit

    I got a Carolina Reaper plant for christmas that was purchased from a local grower. Some of the fruit was already ripe so this afternoon I went out to harvest them and many of the ripened ones had blackness on various parts of the fruit.    Is this because it had already ripened and is now...
