My secret ingredient: I grow my own hot peppers (4 kinds this year: habanero, jalapeno, cherry, thai dragon). Freshly picked is good, but letting them dry on the vine into October is wicked.

I've grown almost every pepper and serranos have the best flavor. They are also the most prolific. People have recommended "bird peppers"(pequin?) but I can't find them anywhere. Hab's change the flavor of the food too much although freezing them will calm that behavior. I tried to grow peppers this year and the deer ate every plant. My Worthless bunch of hounds probably watched them.

I grow my own hot peppers (4 kinds this year: habanero, jalapeno, cherry, thai dragon).

I grew thai dragons for the first time this year and have been pleasantly surprised by their initial sharp "snap" and lasting heat. Got several hundred from only three plants (miracle grow). Roasted some, froze some, and am using up the last of the fresh ones in today's batch of chili. Do you have any idea of the scoville rating on these?
