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!
I've not planted anything yet, let alone reaping it! lol.
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! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
