Those would make DH very happy! I'm a bit of a wimp and can barely deal with jalapeños.

My family once hired a lovely Jamaican lady to care for my elderly grandmother. She taught me how to make a few dishes but had a bemused attitude and a very low estimate of my pepper toleration. She was right. There was a very hot shrimp and garlic dish which after I made she confessed she would have used 4 times the scotch bonnets. She taught me how to gear up to handle hot peppers. I have singed my fingers with habaneros I can even imagine something hotter.

I'm so sensitive to the heat that I have to wear gloves to chop up a single jalapeno. My mouth seems to tolerate them better than my fingertips.

I've been happy with any of the vinegars from this company...and their oils.

I don't like anything hotter than a serrano.

The non lethal peppers look great! but my body can’t take very much spice. Can’t help you here!

jams and jellies. Mix with peach jam/jelly and make your own. Start with a smaller batch with one ghost pepper. Taste when it's done, adjust the next batch to add more or less pepper. I make a jalapeño peach, which used about a dozen jalapeños...about an eight pint batch ... great on pancakes etc.

For a real treat, add a couple drops of liquid smoke and a couple jiggers of brandy ...

A friend's son made BBQ sauce from Petit Sarah grapes that got very smokey from last summer's fires in Napa. The resulting wine was undrinkable and so most went down the drain... except for 5 gallons. Son added 1 ghost pepper to his list of secret ingredients and the sauce was... spicy. I enjoyed it - NO, loved it, but that was one ghost pepper to 5 gallons of wine PLUS a multitude of other ingredients. So, be very careful of those Ghost Peppers.

Well that is intimidating. I think I might use them for rodent repelling. I had rogue raccoons in the spring.

I am loving Shishito peppers - a new variety for me.

agmss, your peppers are ahead of mine, I don't have any ready yet. I do have half a dozen peppers on the Carolina Reaper, but they are still green. The Ajvarski are loaded with peppers, but they are still green and not red, and the Sweet Hot Peach are falling over with peppers, the plants are nearly 4 feet tall, I have a pepper hedge, but they are also green, not a pepper is ripe yet. The poblanos are about two inches long, jalapenos are smaller than that and habaneros are still the size of pencil erasers. I think the Ajvarski will be first.

I've not tried Shishito peppers yet, I've considered it but not taken the plunge. How hot are they? Not at all? Just a little bit? Or smoking? (All those packages that say "mild", lie to me!)

had someone give me a bag of about 25 ghost peppers a couple of years back. I was lamenting that it's hard to buy Habaneros.....and he gave me a bag of these insanely hot things. Just opening that paper bag caused me to gasp and lose my breath! I gave them away to someone who was very glad to get them!!

The shishito is not hot. It is quite flavorful. No need to remove the seeds, but you can. I'd save the seeds for next year. 'Tasty' is the word I would use to describe it, but you know peppers and tomatoes, everything is subjective. I am going to bonchi mine over the winter ...

Shishitos evidently are also called 1 in 10s. As in there are occasional spicy ones. So far I have found a few very mildly spicy peppers among the few dozen I have eaten. They do have a bit of the flavor of chili’s vs bells. Not talking heat but different pepper taste.

I have a bunch of sweet peppers coming in pots and in the garden - the shishitos, several bells, pimientos and two pointy ones. I planted fewer hot peppers in pots and the hot peppers in the garden are not particularly happy. They are in the lowest spot in the garden. This spring was really dry - now not so much. Disappointed but really I use fewer hots than sweets.

I've tried them a couple times. Always found 1 or 2 hot ones in the bunch.
