started with some scotch bonnets

We didn't see picks of you with the gas mask on. L O L!

I couldn't even live next to you when/if you were doing that.
Oh my gut is screaming, "MAMA!".
That's rough!

I love pepper mash!! I started doing this when I ended up with a surplus of cayenne and jalapeno peppers. Truly excellent stuff! Great pictorial!

hey i am just wondering if you could tell me how u did it...

i have read alot on the internet but there are alot of different ways to skin a cat and they all lead me to confusion..lol

I never thought of doing it like that but I will. I grow habaneros which are about the same as a scotch bonnet at least they are the same to me. I've been simply dehydrating them then grinding them into a fine powder to use as I would cayenne or any other pepper spice.

Scotch Bonnets with seeds? Aren't they the hottest peppers on the planet? I haven't used these before and don't even know if I can buy them. I like many kinds of peppers but these sound intimidating. It looks interesting. Keep us posted.

Nope about half as hot as the Bhut Jolokia chili from India. The Scotch Bonnets and Habaneros would be next though.

great pics Bam .. I am going to have to try this out at some point...

I actually grow the red and orange habanero. I also have some seeds for the Bhut Jolokia for next spring. These are excellent for cooking with buy the way as they lose a bit of their heat in the process but have a good taste. The habanero has a citrus taste to them in my opinion but can't put something similar to the jolokia chilies.
