If you “
need” to add some heat while making sausage, or jerky, or anything else your heart desires, here are some possibilities. I made a trip to the Savory Spices Shop in Huntersville, NC yesterday. Initially I was only going to buy some Cure #1 and some nutmeg. While perusing what else they had to offer I noticed the ground jalapeno powder, the ground habanera powder and the ground ghost pepper powder. Into my basket they went. Before I finished checking out, the clerk said I should take a look at the
Ghost Pepper Salt. Apparently when they make this salt, they use some chocolate with the ghost pepper powder. I tasted the salt - 6 tiny little grains of salt. OMG!!! It was
HOT, but most of the heat disappeared shortly, leaving the front of my tongue slightly blistered. I needed a big drink of water when I got back to my car. Used sparingly, this should satisfy even those who crave “
heat”.
