Thanks to all of you who helped with my questions on Chipotles in
adobo. Now I have more questions.
The bosses wife got a ristra for Christmas. Her son works in
outside sales in the west and southwest and got it somewhere in New
Mexico. She knew I was into hot peppers and brought it in to show me
yesterday. It was real nice with oodles of 1/4" thick x 4-5" long
red peppers on it. When she took it out of the bag, I noticed that a
lot of peppers had fallen off (20 or so) and I quickly scooped them
up. She asked what I was going to do with them and I said "I don't
know, but will let you know when I find out". I guess that she will
want to use any more that fall off.
How can I go about using these peppers? I don't think they were
varnished or coated in any way and I sampled a small piece and found
them hot! I guess that I could always grind them for hot pepper
flakes but wondered if they have other uses.
