I just picked up some of these Carolina Reapers and want to make some salsa. I made a salsa recently with Scorpions but I want to try these now. Anyone here have some suggestions on recipes? I’m looking at making a wing sauce, too.

I make hot sauce with them, scotch bonnet, habaneros, garlic, lime, etc.
Hot sauce for sure.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The spicy and sweetness of the sandwich is perfect
Make pinapple/pepper preserves with them.
Spread it on your morning toast.
Dehydrate and crush for a dried pepper you can add to anything
Personally, I’d just be admiring them from a distance.

I don’t really feel like the reaper lends itself to any particular recipe. Just use it like you would any other hot pepper. You’re on /r/salsasnobs so just make some salsa, or make hot sauce, or dry it, crush it, and sprinkle it on things.
I don’t know, this feels like a weird flex post rather than a genuine question.
You should wear gloves that’s what you should do
Wear gloves, I’ll tell ya that much. Don’t need any unpleasant surprises later

Did you get enough to make a hot sauce. That’s what I would do with it. If you only have a few you can still make a hot sauce by adding Serrano, or jalapeños or habanero
Just remember to wash your hands thoroughly before taking a piss.
If you made salsa with Scorpions and you liked it, you can use this for the same recipe, they are very similar. Other than that, https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/ has many good recipes using superhots, take a look there for some inspiration.
Grind it up and snort it like cocaine
Just do the same thing as before or dry them and grind them up to a powder
You could try making a reaper relish.
[I’ve made this](https://peppergeek.com/simple-jalapeno-relish-recipe/) with my hungarian wax peppers and it was really good. Substitute it with your reapers for a heavy hitter.
Snort one.
Wing sauce 🗿
Boof it
Your butthole will thank you for not making salsa with ’em
