Since Erik had left and moved from Spokane to Eugene, we felt it would be best to use the peppers for a salsa. This would allow us to send some to Erik for him to enjoy as well. With the help of Alec (fellow QA person), we made 2 batches of salsa. The first batch made solely with Erik's peppers, and a second batch with orange habanero peppers from Fred Meyer. This allowed us to compare the hottness of our peppers with standard store bought peppers. The Fred Meyer peppers were twice the size of our peppers so we only used 6 of those peppers for the batch, and then all 12 of our peppers went into the other batch.

We had to sample the two batches. Compare to see which was hotter/better. By this point in the salsa making process though, my fingers and mouth was on "fire" and it was hard to tell which batch was hotter. Both came out with really good flavor though. And both felt rather spicy coming right from the stovetop.
Finished salsa product got a special label with Erik May's photo on it.
