Went to the local market and came back with about a lb of a mix of Ghost, Scorpion, and Scorpion peppers. I think im going to dehydrate and grind up most to use as a seasoning. What other uses do you like for these peppers?

I like to throw them in the garbage. I don’t want to be overwhelmed by heat. I’d really rather taste whatever you intend to season them with instead of having a half million Scoville units marginalize all the other ingredients. But that’s me.

I don’t understand that sort of heat. It buries other flavors.

That being said, drying them and using them to your level of enjoyment sounds like a good plan.

You are right Gris. I think many have used more and more hot spice over the years and have burned away their taste buds. Hard to believe some of the dishes I have encountered (that the cook is proud of) are considered edible by anyone.

I guess I'm just a whimp.

I found myself in your situation and made pepper jelly. I used a couple of ghost, scorpion, and reaper peppers and “diluted” the mixture with several red bell peppers. I was certain it was going to be too hot to eat….it turned out to be amazing and is still talked about today by all who got to eat some. It was certainly spicy but not near what I was expecting. Wear gloves .

A lot of those crazy hot peppers have a very good flavor. It’s just that they’re so hot that it doesn’t matter. You could taste that in the jelly without ending up on the floor in tears. Don’t remember the exact recipe but it was something like peppers, sugar, vinegar, water, fruit pectin.

I grew some Carolina reapers this yr and made some fire roasted salsas and a batch of hot sauce
with em, fermented everything for the hot sauce for 2 weeks
Flavors come together nicely with the fruit (pineapple and mango)
I used 1 reaper pure batch of salsa
While still hot af it’s not something you instantly regret

There are many ways to tame them to get an insanely complex flavor while keeping the heat level manageable. One of my first hot sauce creations was using reapers and habaneros but was heavy on things like pineapple, mango and coconut which worked wonders, it was actually a bit too mild heat-wise but still tasted great. Then there’s also ways to use super hot sauces that can also tame the heat down.

I used to slow smoke and dry them in a Primo and then grind them for multiple hot wing sauces.
