What should I cook/prep with my one nearly ripe habanero?
I was planning on drying and grinding when all of them were ripe, but this one is the first to ripen of the plant. Also, yes, I know there are other things in that pot, but I like flowers. Anyway…
Should I dry and grind this lone pepper, or refrigerate it to use in a meal this week? Would one pepper do well with a mango chutney or salsa to make several meals for 1 person?
Recipe ideas welcome.

Chili!!
Habanero gummy candies.
Cut in half and drop in a bottle of tequila.
Dunno if it would be enough for a hot sauce. Maybe use it to add spice to a salsa or guac? Make some spicy enchiladas?
I was in a similar situation a week ago, I chopped it up and threw it into some taco meat!
It seems like my best option is to make a mango-habanero hot sauce, and then use it as a glaze on something.
Hopefully the mangos are ripe enough when I visit the market shortly.
@mradcliffe @cooking you can also freeze peppers to cook with later!
