I'm finally starting to get some peppers off my habanero plants. The one from this plant http://bit.ly/cX4WuT are just gorgeous, but I only have a couple, so far.

With the Dawgs playing late this weekend (for a change!) I thought I might try whipping up a batch of wings in the vein of Big Daddy - OCT's post:

Anyone have a better ides for what to do with the chocolates, specifically, while I wait for the Caribbean reds and yellow habs to come in? (Last year I made a couple batches of pepper jelly with the yellows that turned out great, so I'll definitely be doing that after the harvest peaks.)

    Why not try them in a dessert? That seems to be a fad among celebrity chefs these days, to include hot peppers in chocolate cakes, ice creams, etc. I think it's more showing off for them than anything else, but if you're looking for ideas, why not a chocolate habanero chocolate cake?

    julia childs mentioned it along time ago on one of her shows that a small amount of hot pepper in a chocolate cake makes it more chocolaty tasting, its supposed to open up the tastebuds, never tried it but it sounds right :laugh: habanero might be pushing it though. cayenne chocolate gelato, starts sweet and chocolaty, then the heat builds forcing you into another cold sweet spoon full, really good stuff
