Can you freeze scotch bonnets? None of the stores in my town sells them I have to order them on the internet so I need to know the best way to preserve them.

Thank you...that sounds like a winner however does it change the taste of the recipe being preserved in vinegar? Also, I just got my first order of Scotch Bonnets the other day and one was red, one green and the rest yellow....which color is the hottest or does it really matter?  

That sounds deliciious! I love peppers and hot sauce...today was the first time I've made rice and peas with pigeon peas and scotch bonnet peppers and I was a bit disappointed because the recipe called for "one uncut scotch bonnet" and since someone told me that scotch bonnets were beyond hot I thought that uncut would work well...not so, no heat whatsoever!!!! Other than that the rice and peas was delicious but lacked "heat"!!!! I also bought scotch bonnet "dried flakes"....what would be a nice amount for a somewhat heated dish?

Thanks...sounds good to me!!!

The colours dont alter the scofield units (heat rating).The darker the colour the sweeter the pepper. I like green for some things red for others and my favourite is yellow. mmmmmmmmmm Try growing your own in a pot by a warm window. Great house plants.
