BALL-OF-FIRE SALT: Hot and subtly sweet, this spicy salt can be used to season salsa, sauces, soups and stews. In Guyana it’s called the Ball-of-Fire Pepper, in the Maldives, Githeyo Mirus, and in Panama, aji chombo. It’s safe to say that a Scotch Bonnet pepper by any other name is just as hot! The scotch bonnet can be up to 40 times hotter than a typical jalapeño pepper.
