So, yes, ingesting one of these tiny rosebuds can actually kill you, though the pepper wasn't created to be consumed in the first place (no matter how many dumb ideas are swirling in your head right now). The Dragon's Breath actually hasn't been consumed by a human yet, out of fear that the lethal amount of capsaicin could singe one's airways, causing them to close up and cause anaphylactic shock. (For reference, military-grade pepper spray comes in at a casual 2 million.) The devilish pepper, cultivated by grower Mike Smith in conjunction with Nottingham University, is 22 times as hot as the now-innocent-seeming habanero, and nearly 300 times spicier than the everyday jalapeño. Habanero Jelly would be just as delicious as Ghost Pepper Jelly.According to the Daily Post, the Dragon's Breath chile, now the world's spiciest pepper, clocks in at a hellish 2.48 million on the Scoville scale, dwarfing its nearest competitor, the Carolina Reaper, which comes in at 2.2 million. Got Habaneros but no Ghost Peppers? No problem, the type of hot pepper is interchangeable.The burning generally intensifies over 10 - 15 minutes and subsides after 30 - 40 minutes. Once the heat kicks in, expect sweating, watery eyes, hiccups and shortness of breath. The heat does not kick in for 30 - 45 seconds. Check out the Ball Canning website for detailed instructions on water bath canning. Ghost peppers offer an intense fruity, sweet chili flavor.If you don’t cook it right, the jelly might not set properly. Make sure to follow the times listed in the recipe for cooking the jelly, especially once the pectin is added.Use whichever ratio of sweet to hot peppers that you’re comfortable with. I used a combination of ghost peppers and sweet bell peppers cause I’m too chicken to eat a jelly made from only ghost peppers.Believe me, you don’t want to put your face over the boiling pot of jelly and breath it in, yikes!! The ghost pepper has been around for generations and is originally from Northeast India. They are usually red, although they could also be yellow-orange, purple, chocolate, or even white in some color variations. When ripe, the peppers measure 2.5 to 3.3 inches long. I highly recommend wearing gloves, and I even wore goggles to avoid getting juice or steam in my eyes. The present owner of the world record hottest spices is the Carolina Reaper. When working with Ghost Peppers gloves are a must, and goggles are not a bad idea. Now somewhat of a legend (at least, in the hot-pepper circuit), Currie crossbreeds various peppers, in hopes of attaining new flavors and heat levels. However the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion wasn’t certified as the hottest pepper by the Guinness Book of World Records.
The current world record holder is the Carolina Reaper. Check out my Pickled Jalapeno Peppers and DIY Chipotle Pepper recipes for more ways to preserve hot peppers. The New Mexico State University’s Chili Pepper Institute identified the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion as the newest, hottest chili pepper in the world as of February 2012. I love the sweet-hot combination, and jelly is a great way to preserve the peppers to enjoy later in the year. So I decided to make Hot Pepper Jelly with my little harvest. To tell the truth, I was a little afraid to make a curry with the peppers, and if I used one to make a curry (and I’d be afraid to use more than one) what would I do with the others? I like hot food, but not so hot that I can’t taste the food. Hmmm, I’ve got loads of hot peppers, what should I do with them? As a reference point, jalapenos usually rate about 1,000-20,000 Scoville units. Scoville is the scale for measuring the heat in a hot pepper.
I’ve never tasted a Carolina Reaper, and I’m not sure I ever want to.Ī Ghost Pepper clocks in at about 1,000,000 Scoville heat units. The Carolina Reaper is the currently the hottest of the hot. Ghost Peppers were the hottest pepper in the world until being dethroned in 2011.
This year I planted a Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) plant. I get lots of hot peppers in our farm share, but I’ll often plant one bush of a super-hot peppers in our home garden just for fun. If you love hot and spicy foods this is a recipe for you. Tame the heat of these firecrackers by making a delicious hot pepper jelly. Ghost Pepper Jelly is made with Ghost Peppers, or Bhut Jolokia, one of the hottest peppers on the planet.
