I've made this sauce about 5 or six times now over two growing seasons. About 1/3 of those batches had a slight bitter tip to them. I follow the same process, with the same ingredients to the extent possible. Anyone got any ideas about what could cause this, or more importantly how to prevent...

The time has come to start getting off the grill and coming inside (Meaning the weather sucks today).  Gonna throw a big pot of our slightly hot chili together.   Thought you guys might be interested...   I'll throw up some pictures later if I can figure out how.   VR, Harold   Martha and...

If so, what kind?  This random plant popped ip in our flower garden.  Last season I grew A few varieties of Scorpion peppers, some Jalapeno, cayenne, banana, and bells.  Nothing that resembled this.  The peppers are grown about 50 feet from where this guy popped up.  The wife also grw an...

Harvested seeds from last years crop of scorps.  They seem to be doing well so far.  Also over-wintering the parent plants.  Looking forward to a good growing season.   VR, Harold

ok, so I'm thinking since I'm growing all these scorpion peppers I need at least one really hot sauce recipe in my arsenal. Don't want it so hot that it is unusable, but hot enough that people will notice it (OK... I want to light them up a little). Here is, roughly what I'm thinking. 1/2...

I'm kinda new at this, only been messing with peppers foe a couple years now, other than pickling jalapenos once in awhile.    I've noticed that it seems most peppers that lend themselves to pickling, like Jalapenos, bells, cherries, etc., don't really dehydrate well.  On the other hand, the...

Are the peppers produced by the "Purple Flash" ornamental good for anything, or is this simply a pretty plant?    My wife picked one up because she liked the way it looks, but the idea of a pepper plant not being used in some way is strange to me.   Harold

Just threw this together, I figure in about a month it'll be ready.  Now I gotta find some collard greens or something to test run it on....    Easy stuff. Throw a bunch of scorps in a bottle of some description, add a few cloves of garlic, dump in some vinegar and throw it in the fridge.  Down...

Lady gave this to my wife at work.  Said she doesn't remember what they are, but they are hot. Her Father-in-Law grows them.  Ay Idea?  Scotch Bonnet maybe?   Harold     Harold

Anybody familiar with the shaker bottles that are always on the tables of restaurants and buffets containing pickled peppers.  You see them all over the place down here in the south...  We use the vinegar on greens and what-not.   Where can I buy the bottles?   Harold

Was whipping up a batch of Pico De Gallo to go with my Tex_Mex Rib Eyes last night and had a though, or mental question if you will.  How would a small Socorpion or Ghost pepper do in a batch of pico?  Too hot, even for pepperheads, OK for heat people but not the general public, or OK for the...

Started building a new salsa today.  Basically chopped all the onions peppers and garlic and threw it all in a big jar and covered with vinegar.  All this is now setting in the sun, hangin' out, getting to know each other.  They will remain here for a couple days.   When I do step two, I'll post...

Hope this is the right forum.  I'm thinking of using some scorpions when pickling some okra and cucs to heat things up a little.  Got to wondering, which would add more heat, one or two whole scorpions in a quart or adding some crushed dehydrated scorpions to the pickling spice mix?  Wadda you...

We lost track of what, exactly, we planted.  Anybody know what this guy is?  Very little heat, maybe just a little more than a bell.  Nice sweet flavor, good for salads and such.   Thanks, Harold  

Here are some progress pics of my first serious attempt at growing the hotties... You guys let me lnow if everything looks ok so far or if you see anything amiss. Thanks, Harold  

Probably a silly question, but do all peppers eventually turn red, orange, yellow, etc. when fully ripe or are some best picked when still green.  Reason I ask is that I have some chilies that are getting pretty large... 8-10 inch pods, and they are still a very deep green with no sign of red. ...

I've heard throwing a tablespoon of epsom salt in the bottom of the hole when planting pepper plants can be Benificial. Anybody have any experience or knowledge on this?

I call this "Magic Rub" because it can be used on just about anything.  I use it on steak, ribs, chicken, fish.... hell, I've even used it on eggs.   Magic Rub   ½  Cup sugar 1 cup salt 1/3 cup Paprika 1/2 cup cayenne pepper ¼ cup black pepper ¼ cup garlic powder 3 Tbsp onion powder 2 Tbsp...

This is a good general purpose BBQ sauce.  I use it for ribs, chicken, hamburgers, etc.  Its good either as a cooking sauce or at the table.  Kinda sweet and medium hot.  If you want more heat, just add more pepper of you choice.      Harold’s Spicy Sweet Painintheasstomake Barbecue...

Well I took the plunge gave home made hot sauce a try.  I think it came out OK, the wife thinks it's just grand.  Laz, a guy I work with who is from Cuba thinks it's great.  My impression is it's a little to vinegary and not quite hot enough.  I mean it's a success, but a qualified success...
