Doug-
No significant changes except the addition of a cross-breeding accident. My
Hawaiians (C. Annuum) crossed with a Chinense (Yucatan Habanero) two years
ago, and I am still growing the results from cuttings. The pods are usually
VERY red and add some redder color to the mix. They are also hotter than
blue blazes--- I won't eat them without food, and my tolerance is moderately
high. (My business partner eats much hotter food than I, and he won't eat
them without food, either.) I probably got 10 pounds of pods from one bush
last year, but they are not doing as well this year. They have a tangy,
almost citric "burn all the way down" flavor and aroma and I like the result
in the powder. I added them to the mix when I had to decrease the
concentration of Aji A. [don't want to run out] after my greenhouse
crashed. My Ajis are finally making hay, but I will keep the hybrids in the
mix when I increase the Ajis. I mix my powder based more on aroma than
color or even flavor, and it varies a little from time to time with pods
available to me. My Red S......s (TM) all crashed this spring-- not a
single seedling made it (??????), so they are missing from the blend this
season, but my Jamaican Reds are doing very well. Aside from the Ajis, no
regrets.
