Pepper Powder for Christmas Presents

AlabamaJack · Dec 22, 2007

I made a pepper powder for christmas presents to my wife's family. I used equal parts Thai Orange, Tabasco, and Habanero dried, crushed peppers. Used our coffee grinder to make the powder. Consistency was almost like talcom powder and I left all the seeds in. I had bought some cheap glass salt shakers and put the pepper in the salt shakers with some rice to soak up moisture. Made my labels simply titled "AlabamaJack's Habanero/Tabasco/Thai Orange Pepper Powder 2007".

I put about a gram on my tongue. It tasted great and had a burn all over the palate that lasted probably 20 minutes. I didn't realize it when the wife asked me what was wrong? I said what. She said your tongue is hanging out. :mouthonfire:

Will have to warn relatives since some can't take much heat.

Next years powder will be hotter I am sure since I will be using Nagas, Bhuts, and Dorsets.

I sent out a buch of pepper powders for christmas too and the milder smoked ones were more popular around here then the nagas and other chinenses. Not a lot of chileheads up this way unfortunately. More for me I guess.

It was easy to make....I just used equal portions of thai orange, tabasco, and orange habanero. I ground each separately then added equal amounts after that.

I would send you some but I used my last thai orange making the stuff. It will be 6-7 months before I have any more fresh peppers to make it out of.

The next batch will be a combination of trinidad scorpion, red savina, thai orange, and tobasco. I may even throw a little naga morich in for good measure :mouthonfire:
