Mixing peppers- A good idea?

[Buffalo Man]

Is it ok to mix different kinds of peppers or should i stick with one? I recently made some sauce mixing a few kinds of peppers and it turned out pretty good but it looks like dirty water. So, yes, no? Thanks.

As long as you mix the right ones together it can work really well.
I recently aquired a sauce called "Scorpions Blood" and into it went 17 different varieites of peppers. Tastes real good too.

Its all a matter of experimentation.

Different peppers bring different tastes...experiment and use what you like. I use 9 different peppers in the majority of my sauces.

I think that mixing peppers can make a really cool combinations. I have seem many sauces with a couple different kinds of peppers in it.

 

[Chef Jimmie]

not only different peppers,but different ratios of peppers to get that one of a kind flavor

Don't mix peppers, you'll get sick.




pffft! Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I just made my dry rub (Dave's Zesty Blend) last night from 17 different peppers.

heck yeah mix 'em. I like to keep it simple 2-5 peppers, my favorite is orange hab/red thai

i made 2 batches of sauce over the weekend both using the same base items only diff between them was the peppers used.
One was just scotch bonnets and had a nice fruity taste and in the other was red habs and chipotles which had a nice under tone of smokiness. I have now got none left because everyone
That i have a taste sample too wanted some so from 14 bottles i'm left with none for myself, so it looks like it's back
To the kitchen for me!
