Carolina Reaper

[PRDATR]

Anyone grow them or have recipes?

[Titanium700]

I’m growing them. 
very difficult and need much attention but I’ve got 3 big fruits on one of my plants that are still green and about 40 little BB sized ones on their way. 
this is my very first attempt at growing them and been following puckerbutts method of growing them. 
they are sloooow.

I buy dried ghosts and reapers from ghostpepperstore.com and puckerbutt outside of harvest season and fresh ones in Aug/sept when they are available. I just got these last week....  I’ve found it’s just easier to have other people grow them and buy em.  I love peppers!

Add a few to my pickled eggs.... whoooo buddy!

Also, if you make an order from puckerbutt, get a bottle of their “Bacon me Crazy” or “Gator” hot sauce. Really excellent stuff if you’re a chili head.

You nerds are crazy!! A touch of Tabasco on my eggs is as hot as I get.

I can fit a doz eggs in a quart jar...

- Bring pot of water to boil and drop eggs into boiling water and boil for 12 minutes. After 12 min put eggs in ice water bath for a minute. Peel immediately (easier to peel) and rinse off eggs.

- In the empty quart mason jar (wide mouth works best) put 2 tbsp salt, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp minced onion, 1 tbsp red pepper flakes, 1 tbsp peppercorns, juice from 1/2 lime and fill the jar about 1/3 full with white 5% vinegar. If you like it hotter (like I do), add dried ghost or reaper flakes and/or fresh hot peppers.

- Add all the hardboiled, peeled eggs into jar. Once jar is full of eggs, fill the jar to the top with 5% white vinegar. Wipe top of jar clean, and put lid/screw top on and rinse jar off.

Keep it on the counter at room temp for a few days before eating. Will keep at room temp for a week or two. The jar will be empty before they go bad! (they don’t really ever go bad.  Bars keep pickled eggs on shelves for loooong time).  If you put in fridge they will probably last longer, but they get firm, so I keep mine in pantry when I make them.  

- Eat a pickled egg with a cold beer!

Best part is that it is a healthy, high protein snack.

Make some and post the results!

If you haven’t done so yet, buy some oyster shell at Tractor Supply and give that to your chickens. The calcium helps eggs production. It helped with our hens.

Haha.

Try it sometime and you’ll get a “pepper high” which is a real thing.  Endorphin rush after the burn is gone.  But you need to build tolerance... don’t jump right into downing a reaper!!  That would equal panic mode.

Since my health kick the past few months I’ve been eating hotter stuff. But chili tears me up! I like horse radish and wasabi instead. Hot burn that dissipates quickly.

Mommas making some now... cant wait.  She always makes red beet eggs and deviled eggs but this is the first time trying pickled eggs!  Hopefully they last til next week for the kids unit 23 hunt.

I haven’t seen pickled eggs since I was a kid...was scared of them back then too. 😂

Reminds me of a book I read...torture interrogation involved instilling a ghost pepper solution into the guy’s bladder then injecting it IV until the guy died. That’s about how I feel about reapers and ghost peppers!
