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.
So they finally turned red..... I was beginning to wonder if they ever would. Wear gloves!
They look dangerous!
Not to be trifled with.
Great crop but I think I'll stick to the milder ones.
Will the full recipe appear on 'Gather'?
My parents too grow some chillies, but they are green for the most part. I would love to taste one of yours.
let us know what you intend to do with them .I have a good crop too, but wonder why I grew them now!
They 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.
So this is the end of the mistery of the black chilies.
They 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
'Ring-burning hot' is the description used around these parts.
The sort you "enjoy" twice, on the way in and on the way out. I think I'll pass.
It looks, and sounds, delicious. Unfortunately the 5 cups of sugar rules it out for me.
I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer above.
And how true.
They do look vicious don't they?
First of all congrats on the new grandchild. Beautiful!
Now 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.
Cro, 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.
Chillies and I definitely don't mix.
They look fantastic. Got a few chillies of varying colours here.
Great lot of chillis there. mine have all come ripe about now, I'm going to pickle mine but hey're only mild.
They look innocently adorable they do.
I didn't believe you at the time... but you were right!
Viciously evil would suit them better!
I was starting to sweat, they took such a long time!
