Mixed Peppers…

[s&wchad]

Not yet, but soon!

It took 28 years to get Mrs. Chad to enjoy spicy food, but I'd say she's arrived! I made some hot pepper sauce a few weeks ago and she loved it.

She started working on a batch of peppers today. I'm so proud! Apparently, she found a recipe on the internet and decided to try her hand. Jalapeños, serranos, habaneros, poblanos and a few small sweet peppers. She's going to marinate them in a vinegar/salt brine and pack them in olive oil.

I can smell the peppers from the next room! I'm looking forward to the finished product, but I suspect it's going to light us up pretty good!

Anyone else like playing with fire?!

Absolutely NOT! Lol Black pepper is the limit for me (and very little of that). Enjoy!

I enjoy numerous hot sauces, but have not tried making my own.
We grow multiple types of hot peppers and make some mean salsas, but no hot sauce. Enjoy!

Ruthie doesn't do hot peppers or hot sauce.

To quote Robert Palmer: "some like it hot."

I go through one of these a week:



I keep one of these in the glove box:

It's a pretty color mix.

Nice looking bowl of peppers. I've found that if one gets rid of the seeds and the white stuff, that milds down the peppers quite a bit and one can actually enjoy the taste. Still get the heat but not overpowering. Actually that looks like a bowl of red, green and yellow bell peppers Suprise suprise suprise

Looks delicious,now for the dumb question
There was a type of mild or sweet pepper typically used in the Italian community when I was a kid.It was green and sometimes sautéed in oil and used in a sandwich by itself or as a garnish with other foods. What was that??

A meal without at least a little fire is indeed a dull meal...

I used to be a lot more tolerant of spice and would sometimes make stuff that no one else could eat comfortably. Those days are over.

Yeah, tried that once. Dating two women at the same time .

I got burned.

Enjoy your hot stuff.

Keep a bit to the side for use in a sweet brine.
Just add a warning label for those who might think it's that redneck relish called chow chow.

No telling…

They could have been Cubanelle or sweet Italian peppers. Those are often fried.

Pepperoncini peppers are usually picked.

A few weeks ago at Thanksgiving, My second son brought 3 hot pepper sauces he had made for the occasion. The first was some Mexican pepper he grew in his garden in a vinegar vehicle: Medium and not bad. The second was the same pepper in turkey broth: Medium very good taste! The last was lots of Ghost peppers with one Habanero for flavor: Good taste, very, very hot! The son-in-law grew up with hot, his ears were sweating in about 20 seconds.

I abstained!

Nothing better than some "pepper vinegar" on some greens, chili, or homemade soup.

Hey S&W Chad, I see you have a Boose cutting board. We have one also and really like it.

Why would someone remove the seeds from peppers? They are the point. You just have to be judicious

You retain the flavor but cut down on the heat by removing the seeds.

A man needs to know his limitations!
I can deal with jalapeño seeds, but serrano and habanero peppers are in another league! I've tried ghost pepper sauce and it's way too hot for me. I can't imagine what it would be like taking a bite out of one!
