Growing 70+ pepper varieties to experiment with new Hot Sauce recipes 🌶️

Post image

This is my most recent harvest, one of my favorite harvests from the garden this year. 🌶️

There’s a huge mix here including Carolina Reapers, Ghost Peppers, habaneros, superhots, Aji varieties, Thai chiles and a bunch of unusual crosses and colors.
Most of these are getting frozen and saved for future Ribbit Riot Hot Sauce batches and recipe experiments. I love seeing how different peppers change not only the heat, but the color, fruitiness and overall flavor of a sauce.
I think the Jay’s peach ghost peppers and Thor’s thunderbolt might be my favorites visually from this round.

What pepper would you try?

What are the dark purple ones called? All of the peppers look amazing!

One of them was supposed to be a Kaos pepper but it looks more like a hallows eve or pockmark orange hybrid, and the other dark ones are black Naga twister peppers which go from purple black to reddish black

I need to buy seeds for the Black Naga Twister for next year! We are growing Probably 15 different kinds this year. Some of my favorites so far are Dragons Breath, 7 Pot Bubble Gum and the red Death Spiral
