Just wanted to say pepper people are Awesome. I am totally new to hot peppers. Hell I ate my first Butch T this year and fell in love. Thanks to great people like wicked mike and Scorched I have tried at least 50 varieties since. I am even growing about 35 plants 20 different varieties in my spare bedroom as we speak lol. I have met alot of wonderful people on this forum and received so much help it humbling. Now with that said told Scorched I had all the supers I could handle for now and to send me a mfrb of something a little less intimidating and this is what I got
Man Tony you are the best!!!

There's so much appreciation around this thread for growers and sauce makers sharing the love that I thought I'd say thanks for something else.
I'm growing a bumper crop of tomatillos this year (not hard - tomatillos are the honey badgers of the plant kingdom - they don't care, they just go nuts) and have been needing to find a recipe for salsa verde. Instead of taking my chances on using a recipe from a questionable source on the internets, I was hoping to find one here. Lo and behold, Jeff H posted a status update about canning a bunch of salsa verde today. I asked him for the recipe and, BAM, a little later he updated his status with it.
It may seem like a little thing, but I really appreciate it. Not only is it a recipe he said he's made five times (probably a keeper), but just being a recipe from a contributing THP member tells me something. THPers know cooking and they know spicy. My quest for a recipe is over. I will now make salsa verde with confidence.
Thanks for taking the time to test a recipe and writ it up, Jeff! Pepper people are the best!

I would like to start this out by saying thanks to Guatemalan insanity pepper, the user is very generous!
I have to say I was a big fan of the papaya butter, I expected it to be dull in flavor, but it was actually sweet and flavor full - I would use it on toast, English muffins, and in sandwiches.
The next thing I received from him was cherry jam, it had a flavor of cranberries. I think this jam would go well with turkey, chicken, or some type of poultry.
The next the he sent me was Cherry Jelly, it tasted sweet and had a stickier consistency . I think this jelly would go great on, sandwiches, English muffins, and ice cream.
The final jelly he sent me was a passion fruit - pear jelly. It holds its edge better than the cherry jelly, the flavor is not as sweet as the other jellies, but it does taste good. I used it in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead of grape jelly and it tasted better than grape.
He also send me a very generous pack of seeds - he sent a lot of pepper seeds, and pumpkin seeds which I grew and got a pumpkin that was pretty large ; it crushed the stem before I could fix it, but it was at 40 lbs which could have easily gotten to 60 lbs.
I also received a box of pods, which were great! He gave multiple of eat pepper so I could taste them and save seeds for them.
Thank you for letting me try all of these wonderful goods!

Surprise pepper bombast from jcw10tc - a thing of pure beauty. You've got stardust coming my man!!
BUT IT DOESN'T END THERE!!
GiP and I were chatting the other night and I asked to sample some of his award winning jam. The box that arrived really illustrates what's so great about this community: stuffed to the brim, not only with what I was interested in trying but also a bunch of powder blends, small jars of pickles and a whole bunch of pods to boot! All the cream and white varieties will be aged and spun into my ongoing white pod hot sauce project.
Amazed and humbled guys. For real.
