Need Help with ID of Peppers

[Johnny Ray]

Can someone identify what type of peppers these are and how hot they might be? After we planted them we lost the tag and have no idea as to what they are.
Thanks for your help.

Hard to say for sure, but they look like bhut jolokia, or ghost peppers. If so, they are one of the hottest if not the hottest pepper in the world at more than 1,000,000 on the Scoville scale. But many peppers look alike. Do you think you would have planted ghost peppers?

Hot little devils I’d bet. See that finger sticking out the bottom? I’m thinking ghost peppers. Break one open and see.

Open it up and lick it, report back. Whatever it is, its prob gonna be hot from the looks of it.

I'm guessing ghosts as well.
Too hot for me.....

I have a Carolina Reaper growing which appears redder than yours which seems to have an orange tint. Whatever it is I'm willing to bet it's atomic on the heat level.

I think you maybe correct. They are scalding hot!
Thanks.

If I remember correctly I think the tag simply said “Hot Peppers”
I’m thinking you’re correct on Ghost Peppers.
Thanks.

Can’t reply what first popped into my mind but I think I’m going to pass on the licking. Lol
Thanks.

They have just started turning red last week. I’ve got 3 bushes full. Have no idea as to what I’m going to do with them. Thought about freezer jelly.
Thanks.

String them up and let them dry. You can use them a LITTLE at a time for one thing or another....

Smoke them, chop them up and add to hot salsa!

chilerelleno might take some off your hands, or could give you advice what to do with them. He likes those little devils.

Def. ghost peppers. I make a peach hot sauce with them and it is pretty darn good.

That sounds really good. Care to share the recipe with me?
We were thinking about making freezer jelly with some.
Thanks.

I use the recipe below as a base. Obviously swap out Habaneros with Ghost Peppers or do a mix (which I have done along with Carolina Reapers and Jalapeños) and add or remove whatever else you want to. Also, I have used both canned and fresh peaches. When using fresh peaches, I add sugar:

Light My Fire Habanero Hot Sauce

Habanero Hot Sauce will light a fire that you'll be loath to extinguish. Yes, the sauce is that good! The habanero peppers add heat to the sauce while the canned peaches temper the flame. Canned peaches. I couldn't believe it either, a hot sauce with canned peaches as an ingredient. The other...

Bhut Jolokia ghost peppers dried ground into powder outside with your back to the wind. Found some measuring spoons 1/8 dash, 1/16 pinch, 1/32 smidgen. An 1/8 for a whole pizza. Smidgen per slice. Used a sealed pie crust to gather peppers in 2016. Not making a pie. Just powder. Easiest to dose with spice spoons.

I just came across this recipe a few days ago and bookmarked it. So it’s pretty good? I was looking at fresh peaches and habs.

I like it a lot. Have given quite a few jars away to family and friends and have taken it to picnics and people seem to really enjoy it. I also can it, so it lasts longer. A few peppers go a long way as far as heat goes - I like to use it more as a dipping sauce or topping rather than a few drops like a typical hot sauce.
