Yup, It's Hot
After reading through this thread, I just had to make up a batch of pepper extract. Yes, it is everything I thought it would be. And, like I said...Yup, It's hot.
I added a small amount to one of my prepared sauces and find it quite enjoyable but I can honestly say that I'll not do it again. It was an interesting experiment, however, I can find more beneficial uses for the peppers in my other recipes.
If I want to take that kind of a beating, chomping on a fresh naga does the trick. I'll keep the remainder on hand for those "Special" folks who say I can't make it hot enough for them. Hehe!
Oh, I did finally find a more "Manley" use for a candle warmer during the process. It gently warmed the batch to decrease evaporation time. Patience is not my forte.
"Woof, Woof! That's my other dog impression."
