Picante Habanero Review.  I am a bit stuffed up with a sore throat, so my tasting might be a bit off.  Didn't have much aroma at all and had a very mild hab taste.  No bitter taste to it either.
 
 
Took a bite out of the end and all I got was a tongue burn that wasn't too bad, Ate the rest of the half and got a good burn from it.  Tongue burn and lips bad burn.  Had an initial heartbeat in my sinuses for a couple beats.  Had some runny nose effect.  Peaked in about 5 minutes.  Lip burn out lasts the tongue burn by quite a bit.

Went out to the garden this evening, braving the hoard of mosquitoes, and found my Antilles Fire is ripening up.  It also would appear that my new 7 pot Burgundy plants are out producing the OW versions.  The plants are much taller, bushier, and I think are more loaded with pods.  Going to need to do some heavy thinking going forward.
 
Yellow Congo is almost there as well.  Hope to get some picking done tomorrow after work, start a Jigsaw sauce that I can finish on Tuesday.  Calling for rain, so I doubt I will get the boat out to run some sea foam through it.
 
Enjoy the night all.

Home from work and its time to start another batch of jigsaw juice.  I am thinking I will give these a shot in the smoker first and see what that does to my overall flavor.

Nice reviews on the pods, Jeff. If your looking for more Habanero's for your grow next year just let me know. Got a nice Hab collection.

I might have to do that....I really liked that cappuccino variety.

Yeah the Cappuccino and Mustard are one of my favorites. Great color and taste. The Habanero Oxkutzcabian Orange is also a very nice one.

I love the numbing sensation I get from the mustard hab.  I made a bottle of hot sauce from it using lime juice and I ended up with something tasting like hot grapefruit juice lol.  
 
Never heard of that other hab you mentioned.  I think I bookmarked somewhere that has a list of habs that I wanted to go back and research,,,still haven't had a chance to do that yet either.

All I can say is thanks Jeff!
 

 
They made it here in perfect shape!

 

[HillBilly Jeff]

Glad they did.  Let me know what you think of those ones.
 
 
If I use Jimmy and Jigsaw peppers in my sauce, can I call the sauce Dr. Feelgood??     

 

[HillBilly Jeff]

Jigsaw Juice is started.
 
 
This would have been a great pic if the leaf hadn't fallen into the way.
 
 

 
 
 
Sunshine messed this one up lol
 
 

 
 
 
Couple dozen Jigsaw.  Got at least that many more close to being ripe and three times this many still green.  Hoping the frost holds off.
 
 

 
 
 
Starting the smoke

Holy Hell Jeff, After eating a couple slivers of the Jigsaw, I completely respect that pepper. It is hot. This Jigsaw juice has me intrigued and a little scared for you. Don't hurt yourself...too much.

One pepper for a 5 ounce woozy and it didn't even make me break a sweat.  As I reduce this sauce, it should get hotter if my reasoning is correct?
 
Got it food milled and tomorrow it will be adjusted and reduced for bottling.

Looks real good Jeff.
 
I really like that it was food milled. Since I bought mine, I use it all the time. Seeds suck in sauce.

They do a wonderful job.  Not just with seeds, but the skins as well.  Makes for great consistency.

I was worried last night that it might not be hot enough...after melding overnight, its plenty hot enough!!!

Jeff,
 
That sauce looks killer, I have been wanting to do a smoked bhut sauce for sometime, would you care to share your recipe or at least some ing. used in the sauce?

 

[OCD Chilehead]

Sauce and pods are looking good Jeff.

 

[romy6]

Great reviews and that sauce looks super tasty .
 
I love smoked peppers in sauces .
Brings on a whole new and  more better flavor .     

 

[HillBilly Jeff]

Here it is.  Jigsaw Juice (Jigsaw Jimmy) first run.  Finished with 13 bottles, with the oddball bottle going in the fridge for my own use.  Ph ended up being 3.75 so I am quite happy with that.  Starts off sweet and has a delayed heat.

Nice smoked Jig sauce....and you're right about only one Jigsaw in a woozie is not enough....considering when it id diced up it's only about a tsp worth........... ...........btw, dropped some pods in the mail this morning.
