Would love to try all 3...Ghost chillies are my friend! I love em!

Remind me of this, I will bring them to the Atlanta Tailgate!

Ghost Chilis are really hot, but honestly, they are not as hot I always expected them to be. I have never tried them straight up, always been in a hot sauce. They have a great flavor. I saved a bunch of seeds, so hopefully I can grow them next year.

I really liked the Island Heat, I think I am going to make a ton of this and give it away for Christmas...imagine that Hotsauce giving hotsauce for Christmas...Its like 2 presents for all!

I'm going to need to get some recipes from you.

I've had some habaneros in the freezer for a year. Think they'd be suitable for use in a hot sauce?

You will really like this one

"Island Heat"

5-6 Hab, seeded and minced

key lime - 3 tblsp

carrot - 1 cup chopped

onion - 1 small white, chopped

garlic - 2 cloves diced

vinegar - 2 oz

salt - to taste

2 cups of water

saute onion, garlic in 2 tblsp of EVOO - 3-4 min

add water and carrot, bring to boil, then simmer for 10 mins

add hab, vinegar, keylime and salt to mixture for 30 secs, take off, pour into blender. liquify on high speed for 1 minute.

What is really cool about this, is the citrus acidity of the keylime, mixed with the heat of the hab makes it really tasty. In other words, you can look like a badass by making a "hab hot sauce", but in reality, it has a great flavor, and not so spicy that you will bled from the anus for a week.

Thank you sir. I usually don't like the carrot sauces all that much, but habanero and lime sounds delicious. I'll give it a shot.

What do you store your sauces in? Do you have bottles?

There is no carrot taste at all. It helps with the texture, it basically helps all of the flavors stick together.

Also, if you want it to be slightly sweet you can use some brown sugar.

The amount above will yield roughly a mason jars worth. That is what I keep it in. The vinegars job is to help keep the ingredients from spoiling. Properly seal it in a jar or bottle and it will last months in the frig.

When you say key lime, you mean key lime juice, right?

Yes, the juice from the key limes.

I use about 5-6 keylimes, and squeeze them right into the concoction. I should have zested the keylimes skin into it as well, but the keylimes were old and the skin was beginning to get hard. Zesting, for those who dont know, is when you shave the outside layer of the citrus fruit off using a knife or a grater.

    • Congratulations do they know who the father is?
    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
