The main pepper in that sauce is unavailable anymore, :no:, but this might be similar: http://www.territorialseed.com/product/habanada-pepper

I'm growing it this year to find out.

Anyway, mix a non-hot hab with regular habs, roughly 15:1, and smoke them with your choice of wood. I use hickory. Rehydrate after smoking. Blend with kosher or canning salt, with vinegar, distilled or cider, to taste, and consume in large quantities.

That's it? Now I feel stupid if it's that easy. What's in these two? I forgot already :)
 
And what pepper would that be that is no longer available?

There are numerous low heat to no heat hab types. Im growing 2 virtually heatless chinenses this year and one that is about half as hot as a orange hab or a bit less. Last year i grew one that was about as hot as a serrano.

It was Zavory. It used to be available at Territorial Seed.

Yes, im familiar with it. The NuMex Suave is very similar to it. Burpee also carries Zavory. Chileplants.com had seedlings this year but now they are out until next year.

I went with Trinidad Perfume and Aji Dulce #1 from CrossCountryNurseries (chileplants.com). Both are nearly heatless. The problem with the no heat hybrids is the seeds might be worthless because they are not stable.

The Perfume and Dulce are stable and should be heirlooms so if you like them you got lots of seeds for the following year. The Perfume is also supposed to be a SUPER productive plant.

This one comes VERY highly recommended too if you want more of a bonnet flavor and some heat. ....Rocotillo capsicum chinense

I specified chinense because their is another one with a similar name but it is a type of baccatum.

I make quite a bit of hot sauce and i hate using stuff like yellow or red bells for filler when making a milder hab/bonnet sauces. Mild habs are also flat out killer in Caribbean/South American bean dishes. A sofrito for beans just isnt the same without Aji Dulce.
