Turbo, your cupboard looks AMAZING!
The great part is that everything in there is HOT to various degrees (some are deadly), and there's a couple of dozen more jars in the pantry - we ran out of room in the cupboard after the first few batches of hot sauces. I have to make a big batch of pizza sauce tomorrow - time to break out the red habanero sauce and see how potent it is after aging for a month or so.

I don't know about that. I have "pushed the envelope" often only to feel pretty good the next day, so I can't say that I have had a negative reaction to chilis. I love hot food!

Hi all,

Lol, why the amazement at chili-pepper cake? Doesn't anyone here eat pancakes and sausage?

I like grape jelly, cheese, and jalapenos on buttered toast. Or sometimes just bacon and jelly or cheese and jelly on toast.

This kinda stuff mostly happens at breakfast though, maybe 'cause we just ain't awake yet... :biggrin:

I once tried a chilli chocolate cake my aunt made - it was supposed to be basically brownies, but went kind of wrong and went pudding-ish - but it was actually even nicer. It had a little chilli powder in it, which gave it a hot bite rather similar to ginger. Fantastic.

Now this sounds on the right lines, i have tried to perfect my ginger and chili jelly (jam) trouble is i can not get that (roundness) of taste.
Any ideas Turbo? it would be excellent on scones with clotted cream:approve:

My wife makes killer hot-pepper jellies. The nieces and nephews have learned that green=jalapeno (not too, too hot:-p) and that pink=habanero (you'd better be serious about dealing with the heat). The jellies are both sweet and hot and they go really well with cheese or cream cheese on crackers, toast, etc.

Hehe, we still have an unopened jar or two of habaneros. IMO they are a wee bit sadistic though, as I also like the actual taste of peppers (especially pickled jalapenos).

Habaneros are more like battery acid, all burn and no flavor (should be good for adding lotsa heat to large quantities though). :biggrin:
