Hello,   I have some Aji Habaneros that are growing well and will be ready soon... So I'd like to make a sauce with my harvest....   Ideally a more fruit\citrus rather than vinegar-based sauce... Can anyone give me pointers to some recipes please??   Either that, or some other Aji\Baccatum...

My latest brew is the Centennial and Green Bullet bitter. I went for the Green Bullet as the bittering hop and plenty of Centennial for the late additions. I thought I'd take a few pictures of the process and write about it in a quick run-through. My blog is all about food, cooking, recipes and...

I've been growing some Aji Rainforest, from seeds harvested last year. Some of the pods seemed slightly elongated, but now they're ripening to Yellow rather than Red.... So I'm thinking they are more likely to have crossed with another Baccatum. Am I right?

I had a bunch of Chillies that I didn't know what to do with. I already have plenty frozen, so I thought I'd try another ferment to preserve them.   I don't know quite what I'm going to do with this yet, but once they're preserved, I can take my time to decide!   200g Bubblegum7\Moruga\Chocolate...

I recently started my new blog, so I thought I'd share one of my first posts, which happens to ba a Guacamole recipe.  

Hi, I just added a new review to my blog. It was a pleasure to try the Trinidad Perfume! ☺ http://justsimon.co.uk/trinidad-perfume-chilli-review

Just sharing this recipe I recently posted on my site.   Cinnamon with ribs? Yes, you may think it’s a strange addition, but I will hear none of it! The dish is sweet, sticky, saucy, aromatic and delicious… you get the picture! This was a recipe my Ma always used to make and most of the family...

I had a bunch of these Aji Amarillo which I brought in to ripen. Unfortunately, the grow season ended before the harvest!!   The plan was to pickle the fruits to use as an accompaniment to breaded chicken burgers in a bun.   Problem - the chillies are now partially dried... So, what can I do...

I got a bag of seeds, labelled "mixed superhots". I got two successful plants from them, one has given me this chocolate-colour pod. The two reds are Moruga, but can anyone identify the chocolate?

Basically, I had the idea of making a hot sauce based on blackberries. So, I wondered if anybody has some recipe ideas? I will have Red Rocotos and Morugas, and an unspecified superhot peppers to choose from. Possibly some Scotch Bonnets or Tabasco too.

I bought a pack of Piquante\Pepperdew seeds and grew them... Two of the remaining plants are producing spherical fruit like those in the first picture. One of the plants is producing long fruit like that in the second picture... Both plants look much the same, and both have Baccatum-type...

I was sold these seeds as Aji Crystal. I grew them, and here's what I got.... There has been some question here as to whether they are genuine! These seemed to not want to go past the colour in the picture.... The flavour is very fruity, initially. The flavour almost reminds me of how a fruit...
