Those of us who are chili-heads here at the Peterson house are often
catching grief from those that don't care for as much heat. When I cook, I
usually make food for the family members of the milder persuasion. I then
use a lot of relishes to enhance flavor and "kick up the heat" We make the
relishes as well. We use habanero peppers, onion and carrot in one type, and
jalapeno and onion in another. We use equal amounts of each ingredient and
add a little lemon juice to get the acid level up to prevent spoilage. We
use fresh or frozen peppers. Don't know how long the relishes will keep,
they don't last long enough to spoil.
Our peppers are up and doing well, two true leaves and are starting on their
second set. 6000 green and jalapeno along with about 1000 assorted peppers
as well. Won't be setting them out for another 6 weeks.
