              The weather has turned a little cooler but its still HOT outside under glass. What a bumper Chilli crop this season... I've more than enough for Sauces, Flakes and Seeds...Feeling kinda impressed.

                        Haha for sure :phew: but you have to be careful with these things they really bite and keep plenty of milk and ice-cream to hand
                        Here is some very hot sauce I made a 2am one morning when no one was about even the cooking fumes cut the eyes out of me and this was only made with Apache and Scotch Bonnets now imagine some Ghost or Reapers in there ......doesn't bare thinking about lol

                            @BigC FYI the Bangladeshi's make their famous Naga chilli pickle only using green chillies. They say that using them before they have gone red gives a much nicer flavour. I sell them their chilli plants and all of them want them in the green for that purpose. :dbgrtmb:

                              Thanks for that info @shiney...do you sell chilli plants??
                              They say when the chilli is green it is less hot so that would make sense.

                                Your chillies are sensational @BigC! You can actually make a really good ice cream which incorporates chilli, and lime. That's sensational too! Chilli lime ice cream, without an ice cream maker
