I did the cross pollination by hand over the winter and saved the seeds that grew from that pepper.
Then I planted the seeds and grew out 8 F1 plants. This is the first one growing pods thanks to a visit from some local deer which set them back.

You guys act like you have asbestos assholes… Those are vegetables weapons, not food! :P
Capsicum chinense generally have the best flavor. They are also brutally hot so you’re not wrong.
Tbh, I like the flavor of some hot peppers, they’re really tasty. But those incredible hot ones are really nasty. I don’t judge, if people like to eat them, good for them. Though I have no idea how you tolerate them. It’d kill my gut microbiome and leave my colon asking for help…
I don’t eat super hots raw. But I do like making hot sauce with them, where a little goes a long way.
Ooooohhh! That’s cool! Yeah, you don’t need to use a ton of hot sauce, necessarily. Nice! :)
