It's taken a while, but my black chilies have now (at long last) started to turn red.
Not quite sure yet what I'll do with them, probably dry them in the sun, then blitz them into chili flakes. These (below) are the first picking.
These babies are hot; and I mean sweat-inducing HOT.
I am currently fermenting a jar of jalapeno peppers. In a few days, I will drain off most of the brine then add some cider vinegar and keep them in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteWill the full recipe appear on 'Gather'?
DeleteCro, I bought this contraption that fits on the top of a canning jar to ferment foods like kim chi and saurkraut etc. It does work and it can be ordered from Lehman's catalog.
DeleteSo they finally turned red..... I was beginning to wonder if they ever would. Wear gloves!
ReplyDeleteThey look dangerous!
ReplyDeleteNot to be trifled with.
DeleteGreat crop but I think I'll stick to the milder ones.
ReplyDeleteMy parents too grow some chillies, but they are green for the most part. I would love to taste one of yours.
ReplyDeletelet us know what you intend to do with them .I have a good crop too, but wonder why I grew them now!
ReplyDeleteThey are such a vibrant colour. I"d fear my face might turn that colour with one bite. I would turn them into flakes , too but maybe decorate the kitchen a little with a string of them.
ReplyDeleteSo this is the end of the mistery of the black chilies.
ReplyDeleteThey are red.
You could make a batch of Pepper Jelly. Use up some of your regular red peppers and throw some of these to give it a kick. I can't keep my pepper jelly in stock. My kids eat it with crackers and cheese and use it to embellish a sandwich. I'm sure you have a recipe, but if not here is a link to mine http://razmatazblog.blogspot.ca/search?q=red+pepper+jelly
ReplyDeleteIt looks, and sounds, delicious. Unfortunately the 5 cups of sugar rules it out for me.
Delete'Ring-burning hot' is the description used around these parts.
ReplyDeleteAnd how true.
DeleteThe sort you "enjoy" twice, on the way in and on the way out. I think I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteI refer the honourable gentleman to the answer above.
DeleteThey do look vicious don't they?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all congrats on the new grandchild. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNow about those peppers. I once got an "emergency call" while at work from my hubbie years ago as he and our young son at the time, accidently ate some hot peppers from our garden. He stated water was not helping. I told him eat bread. When I got home an entire loaf was missing as well as all the hot peppers from the garden. Some folks have no sense of adventure
I told you they would turn red eventually.
ReplyDeleteI didn't believe you at the time... but you were right!
DeleteI was starting to sweat, they took such a long time!
DeleteChillies and I definitely don't mix.
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic. Got a few chillies of varying colours here.
ReplyDeleteGreat lot of chillis there. mine have all come ripe about now, I'm going to pickle mine but hey're only mild.
ReplyDeleteThey look innocently adorable they do.
ReplyDeleteViciously evil would suit them better!
