squashed if cooked with something acidic
What would happen if you pickled one of these bad boys in a vat with heavy lemon/lime juice?
Could be interesting. I have cooked superhots in lemon juice before and added fresh cranberry, effectively making hot pink lemonade - thay was a fucking trip.
Oddly enough, I just made a jug of refrigerator dill pickels and I tossed in a handful of green habanero. Grabbed a few yesterday as a side to some brats, and the fuckers were super floral - first time that's happend outside of a savina habenero (superhot hab). Blew my mind.
Never thought of using cranberries! I know when people make that shit orange cranberry shit at thanksgiving it's like sadness in a dish. But with lemon and spicy? That could be really good.
My sauces are predominantly cherry-based anymore, but come October/November they are cranberry heavy. Other times, I use pineapple/strawberry base.
Citrus is a trip to work with because as it heats, it gets a bit sweeter - makes for an interesting medium, especially since i don't use any sweeteners (beyond the present fruit, but I will add apples if I need it sweeter)
