Fruiti-Pa-Tudi - Hot Sauce
This sauce is a blend of green Ghost peppers with some fully riped super-hot chilis. A touch of Cardamon is added to reinforce the citrus notes. Green peppers do not pack the heat a fully mature peppers. I would put this in the 500,00 SHU range. It is fruity, has good heat, and plenty of staying power.
This one just might be a keeper.

About the growing season
Summer 2023 came on the heels of a record-breaking snow year. The growing season had a cold, wet, slow start followed by a hot spell with temperatures north of 100 degrees. Consequently, the chili plants did not set fruit until late June. With a growing season a full month short of that required for hot peppers, many peppers were picked while green. To get the super-hot varieties finished, plants were moved under-cover and allowed to mature under grow lights and supplemented heat.
