Chile manzano, anyone?

Does anybody have a recipe that uses chile manzano? My grocery store contained by Dallas carries these. They're pretty large, roundish, and washed out or orange. I've truly never seen them surrounded by the U.S. before and don't own any recipes for them, though I found a Diana Kennedy cookbook that refers to them, call them "terribly hot" and say they're popular in Michoacan where on earth they're chopped up to make fresh salsas, sometimes a fruit salsa beside peaches. Anyone have any recipe using this interesting-looking chile?

Answer:
The manzano is pronounced: mahn zah noh. Manzano chile peppers are relatives of the super hot habanero pepper. Manzanos are used most often contained by fresh form because the pods are so thick they are difficult to dry. They are great for making hot salsas. The manzano is unusual surrounded by that it has black seed.
The manzano rates between 30,000 and 50,000 Scoville units on the warmth index.

I taste these on a farm contained by Toluca, MX,

and they were so hot that the domestic was accoustomed to putting one TINY chip of the pepper into in the region of 2c. of soup!!

They are so riduculously hot!

Be very painstaking and use citrus to clean your hand afterward, and don't touch your eyes of private areas!!
