| Last week I canned 10 quarts and had some left over that I put in the refrigerator. I only had 3.5lbs of Anaheim peppers so I added roughly 6oz of 90,000HU ground Cayenne powder to the mix. I used some of the sauce I had put in the refrigerator to dip some pizza in this morning. The sauce is so tasty that I can't stop eating it but its giving me some major burn on my mouth and lips.
Here is what I put in it. 2lbs roasted Italian Roasting peppers.
To summarize. The taste is beyond amazing but its way to hot and I expect it to keep getting hotter as it ages. The problem is that its already so hot right now that I'm the only one in the house who can eat it. Somebody help me. What can I do to save my tasty creation? |

| Use it as concentrate to add to other sauces and salsas ;-) I made a salsa that was miserably hot, and so I would add a couple tablespoons to a container

| now tht sounds like what I need where does one find capsaicin extract? OK the best way to keep the flavor you have and cut down the HEAT is to make the sauce again excluding all piquante ingredients while it is cooking, add the old batch into it, and continue, otherwise u could mellow it abit w/ a 50/50 water vinegar mixture, good luck paul |

| Paul, my buddy got it for me from a store in in San Diego called Hot licks. it was 60 somehting dollars but is 6Million SHU! it is GNARLY! i added 2 drops to a tapitio bottle and its too hot for anyone other than me! even my buddy who claimed to love redicuously hot foods! LOL go to Mad dog357's website and i know you can find 1,000,000 extract. |

| Thanks for the advice everyone. chili freak once it has finished aging I will try diluting one quart. If the flavor is unacceptable I should have enough Ripe Italian Roasting peppers by then to make another batch to mix it with the rest of it. |

| Add sparkling water and use a longer straw when you drink it. :) With all that sweet stuff in it,put it on ice cream with some chocolate sauce(chocolate and peppers are a good blend). Glaze some brownies with it... Use it to glaze some baby backs , Chicken or Brisket and smoke em up. Use it as you would a rub,let stuff marrinate in it rather than be a finnishing sauce. Use it on stuff that it's only a glaze so it's less in volume compared to the rest of the dish. Either dillute it as posted above or use less of it at a time. Like eating Super Hots,if I'm using them in something like a salsa,I use less but give it time to blend before I eat it. Dilluting it should be ok but you might want to let it blend for a few weeks before using it so the first ingrediants can blend in to make a more even tasting sauce. Cayenne don't normally get to 90,000 scoville units,more like half that,50,000 at most I think. PC1,a cayenne type Frtuescens , is supposed to be hotter (800,000+/-)but I never got any that were as hot as advertised... |

| I'm not much for eating sweets but I do make a nice Chile Beer. American ale recipe with Habaneros in the boil. Pretty tastey after an extended aging period. That hot sauce might make a good Bloody Mary...Booze,sauce and tomato juice...Homemade Snappy Tom. |

| smokemaster_2007 the company I purchased the 90,000 Hu Ground Cayenne Chili Peppers from is a large company with a good reputation. The item is also shipped and sold by Amazon.com. I don't think they would sell any item they had reason to believe not to be as advertised. Of course I have no way of knowing for sure. All I can say is that its really hot and looks smells and tastes good. Here is a link to the company. http://www.frontiercoop.com |

| I guess it depends on their advertising and what you want to beleive... 15,000,000 Pure capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin |

| All I can say is that it's hotter than any other Cayenne pepper powder I have ever used. The same is said by all the other reviewers at amazon a number of which claim to be real pepperheads. They sell Cayenne pepper powder in three different heat levels. If they were all the same I don't think people would speak so highly of them. As far as the placebo affect goes I have an excellent pallet and do very well in blindfold taste tests. Not saying its a true 90,000HU cause I have no way of knowing but I do know its hotter than any of Cayenne powder I have ever tried and I had my 46th birthday last January. |

| There is a Carolina Cayenne listed above(developed in the U.S.A. 100,000-125,000)that gets in the range the add says. When I grew it ,it was hotter than regular Cayenne but I only grew it once. I was refering to Cayenne in general. Maybe it was my growing conditions but in general , I don't think Cayenne peppers pack that much heat. I use mostly C.Chinense,Baccatums and Pubescens for my powders and rubs heat. For short intense bursts of heat a lot of the Frutescens do the trick. I grow a lot of Pubescens too. I'm more into using several types of peppers to blend together to get the taste and heat i want. I guess if the growers are using a similar strain to the Carolina Cayenne type for their powder it could reach up to 125,000 units. |

| Wow smokemaster_2007, it looks like you have a lot more experience growing peppers than I do. I only have peppers in two beds out of thirteen. I have eaten a lot and cooked with a lot though. If you are looking for flavor you may want to try some of the Italian Sweet Roasting pepper varieties to add to your sauces. They are not hot at all but roast them and they produce the most intense and wonderful flavors. This year I'm growing Giant Marconi and love them. Next year I will be adding Giant Aconcagua to the mix. |

| When I first started growing peppers I couldn't decide which ones to grow.... I decided to grow them all. LOL My seed collection is somewhere in the 3000+ variety,crosses and strains of non bell pepper seeds. I really liked Italian Gourmette ( probably a version of Italian roaster which I do have seeds for also) peppers when I grew them last season and the one before. Great roasted or smoked for all kinds of things. |

| smokemaster_2007 I looked though your large album too. Just a wild guess here but from the looks of things I would say you are into peppers.lol After looking at your pics i would bet you hate mites as much or more than I do. Every time I get them it takes me awhile to realize its not something else going on. By then the cycle of mites and egg hatching has usually gotten out of hand and nearly impossible to stop. With all your pepper growing experience I hope you will consider becoming a member at Cornell's Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners. Its not a forum and thus not in competition with Garden Web. Its just a place where gardeners rate and leave feedback for the vegetable varieties they have grown. Like many others I have found the site helpful. Nothing like being able to read a bunch of reviews on a variety before you decide to buy it. |

| I've used stuff I've googled and found something on Cornels site many times in the past. Soil mix studies come to mind first,though there are other sources of info from Cornell I've used to get info for my container gardening. The only reason I don't go to a lot of gardening sites/forums is I only grow non bell peppers. |

| I was reading our exchange and was starting to think you might have thaught I was trying to hassle you. I wasn't,which seems to be what you think too. I am not any kind of expert on growing chiles. I don't have any loyalty to any specific site except 1 I am involved with. |

| smokemaster_2007 I think you only gave me a hard time in one post and you recovered nicely. I'm enjoying our conversation. I hope you are too. Cornell's site is not a forum. You can only a post a short review and read reviews of others. You can't start a thread. If a variety is not listed that you have grown you can submit it. If its commercially available they will add it to the list. Each vegetable has their own section and each variety is listed separately in the section. There are 524 pepper varieties already represented in the pepper section. You don't have to be an expert. You just have to have grown something in order to review it. If only experts posted reviews there would only be a hand full of reviews and the site would be worthless. Farmerdill who is very helpful in a number of forums here has posted more reviews at Cornell's site than anyone else and received special recognition for doing so. Click on the link and scroll down and see if there is anything that catches your eye. |
