Got a recipe I'm thinking about trying tomorrow, would like suggestions/advice!
5 fresh reaper pods
5 fresh scorpion pods
1/2 oz dried ghost
10 oz can Hot Rotel
1 med red onion
1 large carrot
2 lbs habanero
1& 1\2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup like juice
2 oz salt
3 oz garlic
2 oz black pepper
1 oz cayenne

Also have some ground scorpion and ghost powder considering adding to boost heat.

Thoughts/suggestions/tweaks/mods/throw it away and start over?

I'm no sauce expert but it looks like a good starting point. Can always tweak it as you go. If I had to guess though, it looks like it would be pretty damn hot

2 oz black pepper....By weight????

That's scary.

The rest of it looks reasonable, but that you will probably need more liquids.

Have fun and post pics. Let us know how it turns out.

And yea....That will be really dad gum hot!!!! Like freaking blazing hot.

If you are looking for something remotely edible to others, use 50% non hot ingredients to 50% hot peppers. That ratio will still be super hot, but you can always rebatch it with more nonhot items later.

OK GEEME!!!!!!

Looks like it could do with more "Body" flavor, 1 carrot/onion, sounds a bit small.

Not saying to eliminate the black pepper....Just reduce it...

PS inside joke, Boss can explain it.

Thanks all! My original thought was a lb each jalepeno and habs, 2 carrots, but didn't want to kill the heat too much... Plus I typically use quite a lot of water, 4-8 cups probably, for the consistency I like.
SL, I figured that's what you meant about the black pepper, it's coarse ground- I know that changes the weight, so maybe scale it back to 1oz?
Thanks again all!

Crank up the Swedish Death Metal and lets cook some hot sauce!

I'm down with the hot sauce and swedish death metal but the respirator would make my white face makeup and black eye shadow run..

 

[salsalady]

a big a$$ box fan strategically placed will help with the respirator issue...
 
Looks great, did you have fun?  or will the fun be when others taste the sauce and run crying for the bubbler?

Wouldn't be as much fun without playing up the mad scientist vibe or making people start swearing and coughing after they taste lol!

Go with Amon Amarth, you don't need the facepaint, just a Viking look and Berserker attitude! (Highly recommend their new album Berserker too lol)
