It also contains Pirri-Pirri chilis! I bought a jar of pickled Pirri-Pirri at the farmers market in Vienna a few years ago, a small but very flavorful hot pepper (I believe from Morocco) so that Ultra Death should be a very good hot sauce!

This Blair web page gets better and better. I hadn't noticed the product listings until Oink mentioned them. Did you guys see this disclaimer?
Purchaser of Reserver products hereby acknowledges the intense heat factor of this product and the element of danger if misused. This product is over 100 time hotter than a jalapeño pepper and is a complex blend of fresh peppers and extracts. This product is not a sauce but a food additive and should be used as such only. Furthermore, it should be clearly understood that this is used strictly at the purchaser's risk.[:0]
Flavor schmavor, this Reserve is crystalline, and likely takes just a pinch for a several-gallon batch of chili. This is a fun topic, but I'll stay satisfied with something mellow, like an habanero. I know, how dull[^]

You guys should get togehter and make a "PUNA Potion Hot Sauce". It is not hard to make these concoctions at all and we live in a perfect climate for growing hot peppers. Furthermore, Hawaiian Chiles can be good and hot too.
My favorite hot sauces are Belizian style as they add fruits and veggies to the pureed peppers, adding a whole new depth of flavor. And adding more than one kind of pepper also can add different elements. Roasting or smoking the peppers before making the puree is also a flavor enhancer.
All you need is a huge pot with a paddle, a high BTU burner (cook it outside or the fumes will make you cry), a chinois or strainer and a large food processor, and of course some bottles. Go for it!

John,
I have had some Piri Piri Sauces that are relatively spicy and others not so hot. The Piri Piri peppers in Africa (so your Morroco guess was quite close) are quite hot, something like 175,000 on the Scoville Scale. However, the actual sauce idea started in Portugal and there are many people there that call all hot sauces "Piri Piri" sauce, sort of like our "Tobasco" or "Hot Sauce" categories.
Another explanation for the naming of the piri piri sauce is that it originated from the Gujarati term piri piri, meaning very yellow, in reference to the color of the sauce in the former Portuguese Indian colonies of Daman and Diu. The yellow color of the sauce was imparted by a combination of chilis and turmeric (probably influenced by SE Indians). You have to love a fe of the results of colonization. [:p]

The winner is: (?)
The Naga Jolokia has been tested at over 1,001,300 Scoville heat units! Almost twice as hot as the old champ, the Red Savina Habanero.
And you can buy those seeds from Uncle Steve! I have been a member of the Chile Heads for a long time, but never read that article about Mr. Scolville Himself. Thanks Cat.
So there you guys go, put on your gas masks and rubber gloves and get to work making your sauces!

Devany you spurned me on to see what the hottest chili in the world is and what the Scoville scale is!

Good idea but it's kind of late, there already is a hot sauce made of Hawaiian chili peppers, Aunty Lele's.

Never too late John, I have had Auntie Lele's and a few others, there are three companies that make it on the big island alone. (I happen to collect hot sauces wherever I go around the world) and I think if you guys got some seriously HOT peppers, you could make something a little more "Puanesque". Well, if you do not want to try it... then don't... maybe I will!

Devany; Go for it! If we could come up with a Puna sauce that takes your breath away, makes you sweat on top of the head and behind the ears we'll be there. I'll be growing the Naga as well as the Red Savina Habanero this year. Dried and ground, the two should make a killer chili powder.
