Meet the star of the show, Mr. Carolina Reaper
And his co-host Eye of Round
And the rest of the cast. Soy, Worcestershire and Hot sauce. Black & crushed red pepper, honey, garlic powder cure #1 and an additional 5 Carolina Reapers because one is just not enough. I was going to add in 10 or 15 dried habanero's for some flavor depth but decided against it because I want this batch to be all about the Reaper
Meat unpacked, patted dry with clean paper towels, fat and silver skin trimmed and bisected
Further broken down in to 3/4" thick slabs
Then sliced into strips and into a nonreactive bowl
Reapers into the Ninja blender with a little Soy sauce and ground into a slurry. Add in with eh extra ingredients and stir well. May I suggest the addition of safety glasses from here on out incase of splashing.
Mix the meats and marinade well put a weight on top to keep the meats submerged (I used a dinner plate) and back into the fridge for at least 12 hours and up to 48 hours. Mix at least once more during the marinade phase or every 8 to 10 hours if doing a longer dwell.
I ended up with
5.20lb of meat trimmed + 1.3g of cure #1 per pound of meat = 6.8g of cure #1
40g black pepper
20g crushed red pepper
30g of fresh Carolina Reapers seeds and all
2.5g garlic powder
340g of clover honey
1/4 cup el-cheapo hot sauce
Tomorrow I'll turn the mixture into a colander over the sint to drain off excess liquid then load the meats into the dehydrator. I will then dehydrate at 165 degrees for 90 minutes for a bacteraial kill then back down to 120 degrees until its dryed to my liking.
Weird... I refreshed my browser but still can't see the pick. Oh, well....I can see your pics

Sign me up!Chili,
Over in another site I have a few who are willing to sample and give feedback.
Probably going to make up 5 or 10 two (2) stick packs to send out. I can add you to the list.
I can't wait until tomorrow morning to get up early run out to the garage and get a sample.
My first encounter with the Carolina Reaper.
John, it wasn't pretty and the video was cut to protect innocents from what cannot be unseen.John,
I think my video ran out too soon.
When you ate the Ice Cream, did it go "SSSSSSssssss......"???
