I did this with Scotch Bonnets. Also a lovely tasting chille. I just used white vinegar, de-seesed chilles, and salt. Liquidised it, and let it mature for a few weeks. I then filtered it, and put it in a tabasco bottle for dosing (Yes, I changed the label lest someone make a mistake!). Though it should keep outside the fridge with all that vinegar, I keep it in the fridge and it has not lost its aroma, or potency.

The Scotch Bonnets are pretty darn hot, I looked after a couple of cats for a friend of a while back, she grows peppers in her conservatory, she said help yourself to some peppers if you like, I did and touched a bit of the pepper on my tongue, it felt like my mouth was on fire, so test before you use as they are lethal.

I did Naga chillie the other day 1 whole dried naga for 3 portions Very Very Hot just the way i like it. After eating so many Nagas and super hot chillies and curries i dont find em unbearable but do find the milder chillies a bit unsatisfying now.

 

I always dry any chillis i cant use quickly i thread a large needle with some cotton and push the needle through the base of the stalk and hang them in the kitchen.

I made chilli vodka yesterday, simply sliced up five of my lovely lemon drop chilis and put them in a litre bottle of cheap vodka. I have never tasted such a hot drink in my life, the alcohol must leech the flavours from the chillis almost instantly, one tiny sip swilled around the mouth gives a terrific glow. I can't wait until tonight to try it again.

I remember a few instances of Chilli Chilling terror!

 

First was my virgin experience of working with chilli peppers. I was making home mode pizza with a kick. A friend of mine grown chilli's so dropped off a small paper bag stuffed full of the

 

I made up the pizza base and set it to one side to rise, while I prepped the tomato sauce and chipped the toppings.

 

Well I got everything sorted and made up the pizzas. Topped with lavish helpings of Chilli and Cheese.

 

Popped them in the oven and thought to myself! I have time to nip to the bog.

 

Bejeezus I.was a cripple for hours. Without gloves nor washing my hands after handling the chopped chilli's My Johnson was about to drop off.

 

I mean screaming man hot. I had it in a cup of milk to try and cool it down when SWMBO came in from work to see me with my Johnson in a cup of milk screaming!

 

Well her merry little triad gave way to roars of laughter when I eventually explained what had transpired!

 

Now I wear gloves when working with them little *******.

 

She still has a plastic cup in the Cupboard on stand by :lol:

 

 

The second incident was not as funny. I was making a Chilli con Carne for Me and my Dad. I went to buy some ingredients, Mum had already bought the chilli's.

 

I came back from the shops to find a small pack with 5 shriveled chilli's in it. I though she was having a laugh! So in my infinite wisdom I chopped them ALL and tossed them in thinking there wasn't a lot. I finished cooking the con carne And left it to rest in the fridge over night,

 

Off I trott to my gaff looking forward to trying the con carne with my old man tomorrow!

 

At 2am I get a phone call that Dad has been taken into hospital :no: :no:

 

Turns out they though he was having a heart attack. He was in a lot of pain with burn and it brought on an angina attack. He had gone down to the kitchen for a cheeky spoon full of the mix, :oops:

 

Not only did he end up cursing me for the pain of EATING it, but the secondary pain in passing it too :no:

 

I am now banned from cooking with Chilli :(
