Spent yesterday at the incomparable Canada Linc Farms in Malahide Ontario (near St Thomas, south-east of London) picking #superhot #chili peppers from their massive pepper field. If you have the opportunity, you owe it to yourself to visit at least once. 🌱🌶️ #chilli #hotpepper #farm #pickyourown

A de Neyde #hotpepper from our #garden. These ripen to a dark purple / near black. First time growing them, and we're loving the look of the pods! Some sites have these at 100K-250K SHU, but we don't really know what to expect. #chili #chilli 🌶️🌱

Purple Bhut Wrecker (cross between Purple Ghost and Wrecking Ball). Likely still unstable, as my pods ripen to red. Still, beautiful looking, and I love the splash of colour it adds to the garden. Not my cross, I just buy the plants! #garden #chili #chilli 🌱🌶️

Proof positive that chili folks are among the best around is The Hot Pepper Lady in Ottawa. If you have the chance to catch her at an event you owe it to yourself to take it. She is the most enthusiastic pepper person I've personally met. Always a treat. We got some beautiful plants from her today.

#hotpepper lovers in #Ottawa need to check out the greenhouse at gaiaorganics.ca. Super friendly, knowledgeable. Impossibly large selection of #chili plants, from slightly spicy to beyond super hot, including many exotic varieties. Always a pleasure visiting. Also great veg, herbs and flowers. 🌶️🌱

I might have a problem. Or I might be a bad person. People say I only make #hotsauce for the names. They may be right. Nice mango flavour with a good punch. 2 month #ferment 390g Hand picked #hotpeppers from Canada Linc Farms 265g Mango 75g Ripe (yellow) Lime 3.5% brine Brown sugar to taste
5 oz / 150ml hot sauce bottle with a black top on on a red and black background. Label has a chain hanging vertically, with the last link broken. Below the broken link is a mango. The sauce is named "Mango Unchained".  The background repeats the chain motif that's on the label.

One sample from about 1/2 of this year's #hotsauce batches, 2 month #ferment. Unfortunately lost batch 132 to contamination. Nice range of flavours & heat. Fruity to savoury, medium-low to scorching. Most #chilis from Canada Linc Farms. Some from our garden. 🌶️
An assortment of 12 hot sauce bottles in various colours (brown, yellow ,peach, orange, reds), some with small numbered batch labels.

Today I learned that when you #ferment cacao beans with #chili peppers, then roast the beans, they are absolutely delicious. Chocolaty, spicy. Amazing. The pulverized beans will be added to a #hotsauce made with chocolate #habanero and black lime. Name may be Hot Cocoa or Holy Mole.

Yes, that would absolutely require masking. Maybe double masking. Those who taste your sauce will praise the travails in making it. 🌶️

I am so woefully weak. Walked into an Asian market for anything but #hotpepper, walked out with these. Labeled as ghost but obviously not. Each tray had a mix of yellow, red & beautiful chocolate pods. A mix of Scotch Bonnet, Habanero and some hotter stuff. 1.5 lbs or so for $10. 🌶️ #chili

Some of the #superhot #chilipepper pods from our #garden. These are mysteries, as they are from seedlings that were obviously mislabeled. No matter, they are going into our yearly superhot #hotsauce Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics, with habanero & other superhots we actually know! #hotpepper 🌶️🌱
An assortment of seven superhot cilii pods in different sizes and colours. There are 4 orange, 2 red and 1 brown. The exact types are unknown, as the seedlings we purchased were mislabeled.

Ziet er geweldig uit! Heerlijke chilipepers! I hope Google Translate did a good job. The English I submitted is "Looks amazing! Great looking chilis!" If it's accurate then today I learned that 'chilies' in Dutch is 'chilipepers'! I think I can actually remember that! 😄 🌶️
