misc 007 Pot Red

[KLUP]

Does anyone have any advice on what to do with some 007 Pot Reds I got a mystery seed pack from pepper joes and they identified the peppers that grew as 007 Pot Reds and I have no idea what to do with them

I’d grow them out and see what I got.

What I got so far want to get a game plan for them

You can make hot sauce or powder, cook with them (7 Pots may make your food quite hot!) or maybe even try some straight off of the plant if you have a high tolerance. If you are not sure what you want to do, or you don't have something that you want to do right now, then I would suggest maybe making powder or flakes since it will keep for long time. Or you could just freeze a bunch of them for now, and then decide what you want to do with them later. Frozen peppers won't be crunchy anymore, but they will still be fine for cooking, making sauces, or for drying and making powder and flakes.

I vote for hot sauce... goes great with gumbo and all the other great Louisiana cuisine.

Any 007 Pot Red sauce recipe recommendations?

Maybe a stupid question -
is 007 a different strain than plain old 7 pot?

The 007 has a license to kill.

Here's a very basic hot sauce recipe that's a good place to start. There are loads of recipes online and I know a lot of folks on this forum make their own, too.

No clue what’s the difference had to email the company who sold me the seed to see what kind of pepper it even was it came out a mystery pack

I read it's a cross between a 7 Pot and Naga Morich. Don't know much about it or how long it's been around, though.

According to this, it's a Butch T creation that has a possibility to grow a little pepper inside the pepper.

Well if it does I’ll post it

Nice haul @KLUP but their shape isn't ok. According to the creator (Butch T), most pods should be round and show inwards growth. Some may even hide a little pepper inside (hence the 007 name I guess). Here's a pic (from Bryan Townshend) of the seeked shape:

How can I control the shape just curious

Or maybe it’s not a 007 if not any idea what it is
