Marinade Subjects

Our best friend, Andreas Wolfgang Büttner-Land, gave us a huge quantity of Habanero and Jalapeño chilies, and he gave us the ingredients as well as the recipe to marinade the chilies. He saw beautiful fresh red and yellow Habaneros and fresh deep green Jalapeño chilies while on a trip in Belgium and right away, he bought them in bulk quantities. We have collected the seeds to cultivate the chilies ourselves. Yes, the heat rating of the chilies will drop significantly, but considering the Scoville scale units (SHU) of 350000 units for a natively grown Habanero, some drop in the SHU will not dampen the heat of these beauties.

Very unfortunately, we are yet to try the Bhut Jolokia (Naga Jolokia) which has a SHU of just over a million. We are on the look out for these chilies currently acknowledged as the hottest chilies in the world.
