My mom harvested 4 ghost peppers today from the plant I bought for her garden back in April. We're attempting to dehydrate them in the oven now (don't own a dehydrator). Anyone have any ideas for how to use these bad boys? #hotpeppers #peppers #ghostpeppers
Hot as hell. Be careful. 🌶️
@binjlg very, very, very carefully :) One dried grind them into a fine powder (use a coffee grinder and wear an N95 mask) do this outside, you absolutely do not want to breathe in any of that powder. Then use the powder in dishes - start with what you can put on the end of a flat toothpick :)
@binjlg You can pickle them to tame the heat a bit. Otherwise, use very sparingly. in recipes with sweet elements. And there's always hot sauce. Our jalapenos this year were unusually super hot. Nothing compared to a ghost pepper. But all the peppers vary from crop to crop. Proceed with caution.

@binjlg ...with caution...
