Growing these Tombstone Ghost peppers. Not sure what to do with them though.

Check out pepper jelly recipes. I also use these super hot peppers chopped up finely and put into a shaker bottle like Worcestershire sauce comes in, fill it with vinegar and a little salt and let that sit for a while and use it as a pepper vinegar.

You can also make your own hot sauces with it. Dry them and use them as pepper flakes. Pickle them alone, or use them to kick up other stuff like pickled okra, beans, pickles.

Last year I was picking 30 or more habanero peppers a day for weeks on end-----so I had to find uses for them and wound up giving away a bunch of them to those Mexican taco trucks, and they were more than happy to have them.

I've got jalapenos, habaneros, poblanos, and annaheims growing this year.

Bumper crop of jalapenos that I'm waiting to turn red, then I'm dicing them up and fermenting them for hot sauce. Probably will do the same with the habaneros since it looks like I'll have a ton of them as well.

Annaheims and poblanos will be roasted, peeled, and then frozen for salsa verde down the road.

ETA: Also growing red and orange bells for the wife since she's not a fan of hot peppers.
