The reaper

2781

Don't fear the reaper,

Someone said? 

I think this huffers off his head!

 

With surgical precision; cutting so fine, remove the seed and pith: their hot; this could hurt; you think?

 

Drown them in saline, that will do the trick.

 

Let the flesh ferment,  for a considerable amount of time...

 

Let nature do its work, it will be fine.

 

Take them out and wash them, soak in vodka for a week; drain them; strain them: works complete!

 

The fire is in the liquor: drops on the tongue will scorch you..

 

Don't be afraid of the Reapers!

 

This batch could torch you.

 

Given the right carrier, the effects are not the same; the gentle glow; the even flow: now blows my mind.

 

The process was a winner!

 

The Carolina reaper can be kind.

 

A decision - you know how it goes, that mozzie at night..that buzzes close to your face: slapping yourself in the dark; left only with disgrace. 

It's 2.30am, and I'm yawning, as I make my bed: I spot a small spider, in the corner above my head: I look at him intently, he doesn't move or sway: he seems kind of friendly, I decided to let him stay...

 

Good night.

    I've tried a small taste too strong for me, I'll stick to habaneros and jalapenos thank you very much they have enough flavor for my taste

      I'm not a chilli person myself. I fermented just the flesh, than used vodka to extract more heat. Each process changes the structure and the heat profile. Three to seven drops in a bowl of whatever is very nice, even for someone who never liked chilli!

        Winters on its way, over there.
        I bet your bulbs will blossom in spring...

        HAHA! Valiantstar, I was expecting something considerably more sinister! 😂 Although I've encountered a few hot peppers that made me seriously reconsider my life choices. Loved the mischief in this one! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
