Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne Pepper is a very popular spice in a variety of cuisines usually found in powder form. It is also a key ingredient in a variety of hot sauces, particularly those employing vinegar as a preservative. Dust potatoes or root veg before roasting for a spicy twist, or add a pinch to chillies, stews stir fries. Hotter than jalapeños but less than Bird's Eye, Habanero Scotch Bonnet, some of the fruitiness does come through, although it does still pack a punch!
