Author's note: This is the recipe I made up for 'The Homemade Pepper Imps'.
I really don't recommend trying this at home, (if you were so inclined). I
just thought up the measurements and things that could go in it. I invented
the Exploding Jamaican Peppers and the Wizard's Flour myself. And yes, I
know it is written in American measurements. I'm probably going to have to
do some changing soon. –Mad Mary Flint P-)
Recipe for Homemade Pepper Imps
1 pt of boiled Firewhiskey
2½ tsp ground pepper
1 cup of salamander ash
3 cups of sugar
¾ cup Conjuring Flour
1 cup chili powder
3 Exploding Jamaican Peppers, finely diced
A pinch of saltpeter
A lighted candle
Boil 1 pint of Firewhiskey with 2 ½ teaspoons of pepper. Add the salamander ash, and Exploding Jamaican Peppers. Let boil for 3 minutes then remove from heat. Separate the boiled liquid from the dregs, and pour in ¾ cup of Conjuring Flour, stirring anti-clockwise, until lumps are gone. Bring back to a boil, and slowly add the 3 cups of sugar. Boil until mixture becomes thick and syrupy.
In a separate bowl, mix the 1 cup of chili powder and saltpeter. Add 1 teaspoon to boiling mixture at three-minute intervals, stirring clockwise.
Boil until mixture turns bright red, with orange bubbles. Usually 5 or 6 minutes after the last of the chili powder/saltpeter has been stirred in. Next, take a lighted candle and dowse the flame in the liquid. If flame goes out, boil for 5 more minutes. If flame does not go out, the Pepper Imps are ready. Ladle small drops of candy mixture onto a fireproof surface and let harden.
Enjoy!
Caution: If mixture explodes, contact the Ministry Office of Magical Combustion immediately!
