I love making sauce with the Reaper! Not just because of the heat. It has a great flavor too. I temper the heat with some sweet peppers and some Fresno peppers as well ending with a medium heat sauce. I ferment everything with a touch of complementary spices and garlic. The sweet peppers slow down the heat but add to the sweet flavor of the Reaper which has a slow heat response. I add a few Fresno peppers to bring out a bit of up-front heat. This is my most versatile sauce that works on anything you might use tabasco or cayenne sauces on.
