dont know if you saw the episode of mythbusters with the worlds hottest chillie.

they were using it as a shark deterrant but the sharks loved it. shame as the amount they were eating was enough to kill a man.

 

[Mesquite]

I grow chillies and currently have 47 plants from 27 different varieties ranging from sweet pepper right up to the Dorset Naga which is currently recognised as the hottest chilli in the world.

As for sauces I've got a nice simple recipe to make a great sauce. I'll dig it out when I get a chance. If you want a good tasty hot sauce then try this Naga Snakebite

I love it and usually have it on cheese mmmm

I'd be interested in a chilli sauce recipe please - looking at quite a glut this year and a variation from pickling / drying / preserving in oil would be great!

Here you go Red. I've made the sauce and it is good plus the bonus is it's nice and simple and you don't have to keep to just habeneros. If you want extra recipes then sign up to thie chilli forum I belong to. They've got loads there Chillis Galore and if you're anywhere near to Longleat you ought to go to Simpsons Seeds Nursery as they have a chilli tasting days in September and they're a great supplier of seeds of a lot of different (as in unusual) vegetables Simpsons Seeds

Hot Sauce Recipe
Fresh, frozen, or pickled habaneros can all be used. Adjust the heat by adding fewer habaneros, not by increasing the carrots as this can alter the flavour.

1½ cups chopped carrots
1 onion, chopped
1½ cups white vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
10 to 12 habanero chillies, stems removed, chopped (you can remove the seeds if you really want to)

Combine all the ingredients, except for the habaneros, in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes or until the carrots are soft.
Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Strain for a smoother sauce. Pour in sterilised jars.

Sauce will thicken upon cooling however if you want it a little thicker add some xantham gum or a little cornflour.

Just to back up mesquite on this, according to the book, Naga Jolokia reaches about 855,000 on the scoble range and is the hottest thing before Pepper spray.

The Red Savina Habanero reaches 320,000 - 580,000.

For people that don't eat that much in the way of spicy food this should help a little. Jalapeno peppers are rated at 2,000 - 8,000 and Tabasco is rated at 30,000 - 50,000 on the scoble range.

Did you get down for the chili fiesta on the Sunday?

Saturday was good, came away with a few plants (Black Pearl, Antillais Carribean, Thai Dragon, Prairie Fire and Medusa), a few seeds (Lemon Drop, Hungarian Black, Cayenne Long Red Slim, Prairie Fire and Zimbabwe Bird Pepper), a a few dried bits and relishes (I quite like the Wasabi Mayonnaise and the chipotle relish). I would say the only thing wrong about Saturday for most people was the rain, but I like the rain.

No, sadly I couldn't make it. A combination of family probs and distinct lack of funds meant I couldn't. I had to choose between the chile festival and going on the Mors course
and Mors won out Fingers crossed I'll be going to the Bennington Lordship festival on the 24th as it's only 30 min drive for me. Not as big as West dean but still worth going to.

I'm glad you got the Lemon Drop to try out as it is really my favourite chilli but to eat and the smell when you're chopping it up is such a nice rich citrus scent.

Did you manage to get any Snakebite?

 

[British Red]

Thanks Mequite - not growing habeneros but I am growing some tabascos and others so I'll have a play and see what I can come up with using the recipe as a base

Your welcome Red. If you want to try it with Habeneros I'll post you some when I start picking. Then you can blow your head off

No, Lou and I had a good look around for it, but to no avail, I'll see if I can pick some up online.

Hello chilli lovers, I have a request, does anyone have a recipe for Chilli Jelly ( not the wobbly one on the table ) I tried some in America and brought some home but it has all gone now. Sooo I thought i'd try making some, any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Andy, if you mean Jelly as in British Jam type thing I haven't, but I do recall talking to Neil1 ages ago about chilli marmalade to go with pan fried scallops. I can't remember what the recipe was, but I'll have a word and see what he has to say.

I did have the honour to merely lick the flesh of a Dorset Naga last summer, in Devon. Strewth..............

After that a half teaspoon of Police pepper spray didn't seem too bad on the palate, though oddly flavourless - I understand it is a synthetic formulation to control the strength accurately which may explain this.

Cant get the link to work for the snakebite...is the chillis your growing as hot as the ones on the link; In replicated tests of Scoville heat units (SHUs), Bhut Jolokia reached one million SHUs,if so I would love to try them

Hmmmm I tried it as well and it doesn't work even afer editing. Go to www.thechileman.org and then click on the link hottest peppers in the world? link and it will take you there.

I'm growing the Dorset Naga which I hope will turn out hot but the weather atm isn't conducive for really hot chillies.

This is the total list of what I'm growing
Sweet Peppers - 2 different varieties
Peach Habenero
Red Cayenne
Nepali Orange
Punjab
Caribean Red Hot
Red Rocket
Carolina Cayenne
Japanese Hot Claw
Red Rocket
Papafina
Zimbabwe Bird
Condors Beak
Brazilian Bonanza
Scotch Bonnet
Jalapeno
Riot
Red MIssile
Jamaican Red Scotch Bonnet
Hungarian Yellow Wax
Apache
Paper Lantern
Fatali
Ancho
Dorset Naga

The Fatali, Jamacian Red and Caribean Red Hot are the next hottest after the Naga so hopefully I'll incinerate a few throats with what I get The Ancho is a fun one 9 out of 10 are mild to medium but the last one has a lot of bite so it's like playing russian roulette with them for the unwary and they taste great fresh picked, fried in a little olive oil then sprinkled with some fresh gorund salt which is how the spainish eat them in tapas.

 

[Lowlander]

I've got one Dorset naga, not wonderful germination this year; looking forward to trying it. For my chilli jam, I make an apple jam, then add chilli - flakes, seeds, chopped, whatever.

Better than the jam is the chilli wine I make. Want the recipe?

 

[hiraeth]

Can anyone tell me where i can get seeds for the dorset nanga, have asked at my local garden center with no luck.
Also have had a complete failure with my chillies this year and lost all my plants, only grown one variety which i belive was called apache, has anyone else had a problem like this.

Naga seeds tend to be supplied by specialist chilli seed suppliers and they're not cheap due to supplys being short and having to grow them in special conditions to ensure no cross pollination takes place. But you can get them from the following suppliers:
Simpsons seeds (their site is under reconstruction atm however.)

From the man who originally bred them Michale Michaud

Naga Seeds

How do you mean 'lost' your chili plants? There's a variety of reason that might have caused it but without symptoms it's hard to say what happened. I've currently got 3 Apache plants growing atm and they're fine.

 

[hiraeth]

I had six plants growing from seed, all seemed fine until plants were about 150mm and for some reason they just startet to wilt and die. Have grown same variety now for a couple of years and have never had a problem with them before.
Hopefully i will pick something up in the local country show next week, last year there was a stall there with good few varieties of chilli on sale.
Thanks for the links though.

Well, for those braves (or foolhardy) souls that are tempted by the sound of the Dorset Naga nows your chance to try them. The Dorset Naga comes toTesco
I liked the various descriptions.... 'A vindaloo is like a bowl of muesili compared to the Naga....', 'it brought the hardest blokes in our testing team to their knees......'
