I bloody love being on my own.
I mean, doing stuff with the family is nice and all, but you can't beat a bit of peace and quiet.

Encona is lovely.

Do this:
half an onion
3 spring onions
3 cloves of garlic
10 Scotch Bonnets with seeds in
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly ground allspice (or pimento berry / pimento pepper if you're in the US)
1 heaped teaspoon of flaky sea salt (maldon salt - US could use Kosher salt but cut down the quantity a bit)
300ml cider vinegar
about 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme
1 lime squeezed
2 teaspoons of tomato puree
1 tsp sugar
All in the blender, blended down to a smooth consistency, then bottled.
That made 3 175ml bottles.
Make sure you pour boiling water in your bottles/jars to sterilise them or the sauce won't last.

What's wrong with that?

Enough to kill the population of a small town.

Not if you look at the quantity he's making.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:08, Reply)

It's good as a marinade as well.

I love the sweetness of scotch bonnets. People think chillies are just about the heat, which is bollocks, each variety has its own flavour.

Correct.
Morrisons seem to have upped their chilli game of late. I've got a madras recipe that calls for long red chilli's and I was struggling to get them for a while (even out of spice shops), you can totally tell the difference to, say, finger chilli's.

I shall investigate. Problem is Morrisons don't have many stores in London.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:29, Reply)

I'm sure there's a wealth of places that sell fancy chilli's in that london though.

( Slippery Mick ‏, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:31, Reply)

At a ridiculously high price in many cases.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:34, Reply)

You can get them cheap online if you're the sort of person who knows what they're going to be eating a couple of days in advance.
Sadly, I am not.

My neighbour gave me a load of peach habeneros, which while spicy, had the most delicious sweet flavour to them
A chilli sans carne made with them had a distinctly different taste.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:22, Reply)

Not had that variety. Will investigate.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:37, Reply)

Three 175ml bottles
I mean, I'm no good visualising quantities or volumes or anything like that, but if a can of soft drink is 330ml we're talking ten peppers with seeds in only about one and a half cans worth of sauce. It's gonna be a bit hot.
( drimble he'd been white, he'd been black, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:13, Reply)

Yes, but you wouldn't drink it like you would a can of soft drink, would you?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:14, Reply)

Well you can use less if you want.

( Slippery Mick ‏, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:18, Reply)

Can't you do it and just send me one of the three bottles?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:05, Reply)

+ smear in eyes

That sounds fucking good.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Fri 20 Jun 2014, 11:06, Reply)

Double the quantities if you want a decent enema.
Trust me.
