Trick or Treat!?

While the colors resemble Halloween goodness, fiery trick lies in this platter of our fall pepper harvest. I'm certain there's enough capsaicin here to melt through the platter! While the cayenne died out after fruiting, our habenero plant is intensely flowering again. The second season for this plant is in overdrive. Producing the hottest pepper on the planet is fun though I have no clue what to do with all of it. Perhaps, I could make an intense acid cleaner or a salsa only Mexican locals can handle. Any ideas? As for trick or treaters, beware! Muahahaha!
