Hey Nick,

I made this last night after having it bookmarked forever. Mine didn't turn out so liquidy or even that bright. Did you puree your mangoes or something?

My girlfriend and I just made this and used 6 mystery peppers. I think 5 of them may be scotch bonnet's and the other might be a cayenne. Needless to say our faces are just about melting off now! I'm really impressed at how good this is though. We will definitely be making this again!

I'm a little late to the party, but I just checked out this recipe [looks amazing, on my "To Cook" list] and I wanted to let you know that those mysterious peppers are called "manzana" chiles. I found them in my local Mexican market a few months ago. Manzana means apple in Spanish, so that "eat like an apple" line is kind of ironic.

Was it sweet at all due to the brown sugar? Could you perhaps add a bit less or is it really just to cut some of spice? Also, I have a whole bunch of little serrano peppers from my parents garden, could I use those?

Sounds soooo delicious!

@Nick. Cilantro rules. I’ve heard that some people have a genetic aversion to it or something. Obviously it is optional.

@mandi. That’s exactly what they were. Not spicy at all! The habaneros are hot but they blend perfectly with the mango so the heat is pretty manageable I think. I would make it even hotter if I made it again.

Also, I forgot to mention. Some people like to wear rubber gloves when dealing with these peppers because if you touch a pepper and then your eye or something it burns like you wouldn’t believe. Trust me. I know.

i am so down with this recipe, it looks amazing! i wanna try this too! i also love ridiculous levels of heat.

the bigger of the two peppers looks like those mini bell peppers. probably good thing you bought both cause those arent hot at all and you coulda come home and been real disappointed!

5 habanero is bold man, those little guys are intense! i commend you haha
