Spicy Sunday

After spending the morning fixing the hole in our sheep fence, Ian turned his attention to our abundance of hot peppers.  We now have an entire bowl of Habanero and Scotch Bonnet peppers and a counter full of Thai Dragon peppers.

The Habanero has a heat rating of 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville units. Scotch Bonnets are 80,000 to 400,000 Scoville units. Thai Dragon peppers are somewhere between 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville units. For comparison purposes, Jalapeño peppers have a heat rating of 2,500 to 8,000 on the Scoville scale.

So, yes.  These are some super spicy peppers that we need to find something to do with.  Thank goodness Ian likes hot sauce.  However, even he does not like "burn your face off" hot sauce so we are on the look out for hot sauce recipes that use these types of spicy peppers but are reasonable on the heat scale.  If you have any winning recipes, please send them our way.  We are more than happy to reciprocate with a bottle of whatever sauce we end up making.  Feeling HOT HOT HOT!
