Yeah, I was trying to get that fruity flavor without killing myself. I think I've hit my threshold with heat. Never tried poblanoes.
You could remove the capsaicin by grinding the superhots into a fine powder and soaking the powder in Ethanol (moonshine or really high proof booze will do). I'm not sure if the chili flavor would remain behind though or if that would also dissolve.
I just picked up two quarts of vacuum sealed red ghosts from a friend. I'm on vacation, may do some research and experimenting. Also have a quart of Serrano. Was planning on dehydrating and grinding into powders anyway.
