This morning as I was getting ready for work, I decided to have my morning coffee in my backyard and decided to water my peppers, basil, and tomatoes and realized my little Scott Bonnet peppers are finally ready. I planted this last year and they made for an amazing hot sauce that I used all summer. Out of all the peppers I grew, these are the prettiest and hottest little peppers ever. They range from 100,000-350,000 Scoville's on the heat level, safe to say il be making a few hot sauce bottles really soon.

Nice! Mines are around 75k, but they are all different. I learned the lighter and more orange ones are a little less hotter than the red

No hot pepper sauce for me when I make it up to visit you, please... I can't handle the heat!

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I'll have to pass on the steaks, then. I eat mild sauces because any hot peppers burn my mouth, throat and my butthole later on.

The heat is good for marinating steaks then grilling them

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I'm sure your homemade hot sauce is delicious. I had General Tsos chicken the other day and said to make it mild. It still made my nose run but it was delicious

Thanks Marilyn, I use a lot of garlic to tone them down when making hot sauce.

We use black peppers with basil leaves with hot tea when we have caught cold. It works wonders.
