Try adding this pepper to salsa recipes. You can also try making your own hot sauce with these peppers.

Heat the mixture for 20 minutes and then allow it to cool to room temperature before pureeing it in a food processor and adding vinegar.

Great Taste and Productive
by Michael
First time growing these, and despite crowding them too close together and the extreme humidity experienced this summer these were very productive. Lots of heat, but not too much heat. Will definitely grow them next year.
Fiyah flame
by Peter Piper
Very productive plant, grown in Colorado, zone 5a. Flavor experience was a wild ride of intense red bell pepper sweetness that transitions into a nice medium heat
