Favorite hot pepper variety?

[2ndTink]

Tried them, just a little too hot for this old man.

I like to dry them then add them to chili through the winter, and I use them to make hot sauce to share with people I love.

That's love, right?

Just a little out of my spice comfort zone lol My uncle convinced me to eat one when I was a kid as a joke. I was tomato red for an hour and gasping for air while holding my head in the freezer

Oh no! They aren't for eating, that's mean!!!

How do they do in a hot sauce? Do you put one in a batch with other peppers or I guess I’m scared to find the correct amount to use if I were to try growing some lol

I used 5 or 6 different kinds of hot peppers, onions, garlic, carrots, vinegar, and some other stuff, I wrote it down somewhere it took less than 1/4 cup to make a huge pot of chili pleasantly hot. I think I used 5 or 6 Reapers.

Maybe I will try growing a plant then to try out! I am both excited and scared to try them again, but I think I have reached that point where the usual hot peppers don’t feel as hot anymore. My husband says it’s because I eat Thai chilis with my eggs every morning, habaneros with lunch and I use a lot of scotch bonnet and ghost pepper hot sauces

I grew a bunch of different varieties last season.
Carolina Reapers
Brown Ghost
Yellow and red scotch bonnets
Red scorpion
And a hybrid called fire red chilli (grows better in the cooler climate here)


Have also grown haberneros, cayenne and Thai hot.

Haven’t had the chance to experiment, but right now it’s cayenne: spicy enough I can taste them, not so spicy I can’t feel my tongue afterwards, and they grow fairly consistently for me. I had some Hungarian Wax a few years back, they weren’t bad either.

What is your favorite hot pepper variety? I have been growing Hungarian hot wax, jalapeños and habaneros and cayennes but this year I am expanding my hot pepper garden to try some new varieties.

jalapeno. I know it's basic, but they're just so good with cream cheese and bacon.

We did jalapeños this year too and I did up 2 jars of pickled jalapeños with onion I did a slightly different brine for the Hungarian wax peppers and put onion and yellow bell peppers with those.
