Ärende: Drying peppers
======================
Hi Dave,


 SH> I have not had the nerve to try ghost peppers yet. Habaneros are plenty
 SH> hot for me.

 DD> Habanero/Scotch bonnet are quite hot enough for me as well. I was
 DD> given the Bhut Jolokia by a fellow member of the Vintage Iron Riders
 DD> (motorcycle club - vintage being the motorcycles ... and most of the
 DD> membership). I don't get much flavour from the ghost pepper - just a
 DD> LOT of heat.

 SH> I think I'll avoid it unless it is significantly tamed down by other
 SH> ingredients so that I can get flavor along with the heat. I'm not into
 SH> heat for heat's sake.

We tried some in a hot sauce Steve's brother has. Yes, it was hot but
not as hot as it could have been. It was way down on the list of
ingredients. David and several other guys where he works seem to have a
love of trying all things hot--and (I inferred) trying to bring in
something hotter than the last thing brought in. Bunch of crazy guys!
Anyway, I had some on a chip, a few minutes later my mouth was still
tingling but the major heat feeling had dropped considerably.

 DD> I'm not sure that can be accomplished. The Indian gummint uses ghost
 DD> peppers in weaponry. I am content to leave them at that, having no
 DD> need to prove to anyone how brave (or foolhardy) I am.  Bv)=

 DD> OTOH, I habitually carry a small Tupperware picnic S&P shaker
 DD> (http://tinyurl.com/S-PTupper) with straight ground habanero chile on
 DD> one side and Jim Campbell's (www.wildpepper.com/) apple-smoked
 DD> habanero on the other -- just in case the fare in the restaurant needs
 DD> livened up.

We've got a couple of them, one with regular S&P, the other has lite
salt (mixed with potassium) and pepper. Wouldn't mind trying to get my
hands on at least a couple more.


 DD> I note that whilst searching for images of the S&P shakers that nearly
 DD> every link led me to either Amazon (and the wrong product) or eBay
 DD> (right product - but they are overly PROUD of what they are flogging).

So what else is new? (G)


 DD> I gave U$5 for a six-pack of those shakers from a lady I know who was
 DD> having a Tupperware party - about ten or so years ago. Had I but had a
 DD> crystal ball that was in focus I'd have bought lots more - as the best
 DD> price I saw today was U$5.99 *EACH*   Bv)=

I've not been to a Tupperware party probably since I was in AZ. I'll
have to see if I might, perchance, have some more s&p shakers somewhere
in the dark recesses of the house. Would be great if I did but won't
hold my breath on it.

 DD>       Title: Scotch Bonnet Chocolate Baby Cakes

 SH> This sounds really good. Chocolate and Chilies are a great combination.

 DD> I don't know how y'all are on cranberries - but, here is a recipe I
 DD> have posted here before for a nice relish that is both easy to make
 DD> and diabetic friendly.

 DD>       Title: Cranberry-Orange Relish
 DD>  Categories: Five, Fruit, Citrus, Salads
 DD>       Yield: 8 Servings

Steve loves cranberry sauce (whole berry), I'm not too thrilled with it.


 DD> ... Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive
 DD> faster??

No, but it makes you feel like it does.
