Here’s a portion of the 2/3 cup of Lemon Drop Chile Peppers which I cut up tonight for use in my multi-year hot sauce project. These were grown on my front porch, planted along with the flowers grown here in 2008.
I’ve done a bunch of stuff since cutting them up and washed my hands a few times, but I’m still too scared to use the bathroom and touch particularly sensitive bits. These are very, very hot; just below habanero according to descriptions I’ve read online. When I tried to eat one slice this size in the past, the first initial bite sent my mouth into alternating numbness and horrible pain.
