It took longer than the other chiles to produce but now it's producing hard.

Good for you

Make lube with it?

salsa

Salsa and/or pickle some and make hot sauce.

Spicy margaritas

I'm thinking I'll go the hot sauce route. This is the first year I've actually been serious about growing things and I'm overwhelmed with tomatoes, strawberries, chiles, and I've got a bunch of eggplant that's about to be ready.

Can't do tequila. Maybe a spicy gin and tonic though.

Get some pineapple involved in there if you're feeling zesty.

I made fermented habanero/ginger/persimmon hot sauce once and it was absolutely amazing, you should go that route.

That sounds great. I'm not a big fan of sweet with spicy. I hadn't thought about using ginger. I had a friend years ago who made a sauce that was just habanero, carrot, and vinegar and it was pretty cool. Habaneros leave a metallic taste on my tongue and ginger would be a cool counter flavor

Sweet and spicy is king you nerd

Shove em up your ass.

I don't like sweet stuff usually

it wasn't really sweet, i only put one persimmon in there just for a little bit of flavour but the ginger and habanero pairing was the best.
