Posted in Special Series, tagged on April 26, 2010 | 2 Comments »

These are not for the faint of heart.  Although they can be used for many things, I tend to use the hottest peppers to make hot sauces with (the Chipotle is a great `bridge`between middle and heavy weight and makes an equally good rub as it does a hot sauce). Don`t be scared by the [...]

The Great Hot Pepper Lexicon – The Middleweights

Posted in Special Series, tagged on April 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

We`re graduating from entry-level heat to some attention-grabbing contenders here.

Don`t like hot sauce? Maybe it`s time to try a really hot one (seriously)

Posted in Special Series, tagged on April 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

It`s something I hear often and am empathetic to; `I don`t like or can`t handle hot foods.` If this is the case, you may want to try something that seems very illogical – try a VERY hot sauce. A Jalapeno pepper measures 2,500-10,000 scoville units. Tabasco Sauce weighs in between 2,500-5,000 (yes it can change [...]
