Introducing FaceMelter Hot Sauce🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

[SmokinAussie]

G'Day Bruces!

Last time I made hot sauce, I went pretty tame.

This time, I got serious.

Started with some fire roasted bell peppers.

And few Japs off 2 of my chili plants.

Yep... and then these fellas. Trinidad Scorpions off my own tree. Since my aquaponics set up is stabilising, the tree is not dropping the chilis before they get ripe.

So THIS time, I wanted to see what damage these things can do.

Put on some gloves and chopped them up.

Into the pot with the other ingredients and white wine vinegar.

Added water, seasoning etc. Blitzed.

Let me tell you, the tasting was like lining up for a good switching. The first taste had me bending over, hands on knees, coughing. Each time I added a different dash of an ingredient, the hot sauce would burn a new hole in a different part of my palate. This, IMO is a "Hot Ones" candidate at level 8 or 9. When it was on the stove, you'd walk into the kitchen and immediately start coughing for a bit. After a taste, it's coming back up as burp you don't want to have. It gives me the shakes. Seriously.

Anyway... Bottled. Somehow. I don't know how long it's gonna take to break out.

Introducing "FaceMelter" Trinidad Scorpion Hot Sauce.

I'm not sure if I should give this to friends... or enemies.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers!

Nope, nope, nope! Looks really good. But I'm not into sauces that will melt your face. Or other regions when it's time to. Well. You know! The hottest I'll go is habs with mango that I make occasionally.

 

[normanaj]

I'm all in on that.

 

[ifitsdeadsmokeit]

Nope. Habs is about all I can do.

 

[Winterrider]

Pass, wouldn't want to pay the price afterwards and I normally like hot stuff.

 

[indaswamp]

Nope. And I'm a Cajun that likes spicy food....

 

[kilo charlie]

Whoa! Definitely outta my league!

 

[mneeley490]

Not my circus either, but I have a friend who would give it a go. He is insane.

You got scorpions but I have reapers. My plant lasted 4 years (over-wintering indoors) but died this spring.

Yours look gorgeous but that sauce needs some sweetener--like mango or pineapple (mango is perfect) to take that heat edge off.

Get it too hot and you can't taste anything as the heat overpowers ALL.

Fantastic! I'll take 2 bottles!

SA, I am laughing my tail off reading your post. You can have that sauce all to yourself and anyone else that wants to inflict pain on themselves. Nice concoction but not for me ! :)

our resident fire gobbler @chilerelleno scoffs at your puny god killing sauce

(but seriously, you have fun wit dat!, save the rest of us from having to taste it!)

I prefer the type of hot that makes me sweat, possibly watery eyes, a single tear just hanging around the corner of my eye. That’s my perfect level of hot. Tastebuds still intact and able to taste the food.
Your sauce will be a hit at parties though especially when you tell someone your sauce is too hot for them to handle. I had tons of fun with Dave’s Insanity a long while back.

When people ask me for a really "hot" sauce, then Dave's Insanity Ghost Pepper comes out. That's like a challenge for me. "I dare you to tell me that's too hot, since you asked for it".... Yer Idiot!

FaceMelter is a little off that Scoville number but not by much.

For the record, there are 2 huge jars of fermented Trinidad scorpions in the fridge just getting funkier while I figure out what to do with them.

And we are coming out of Winter here in Downside Up land, so it is time to plant some more chilies in my garden. I'm not always invested in blowing yer brains out with hot sauce. I do prefer flavor over fire, however FaceMelter was a test. And of course my level of hot is a bit different to most people.

Cheers!

Sure looks good. My heat tolerance isn't what it used to be.... but, I didn't get where I am today, worrying about what I'm gonna feel like tomorrow. I'd try it

 

[dons2346]

I like hot but this is something I don't want anything to do with. Hope you get it used up before it eats the bottom out of the bottles.

i cant imagine making that stuff!!! we did it as kids with just regular peppers and the fumes were unbearable. lmao

making horse radish is another killer on the senses.
