Hey all-
As harvest time approaches here in Michigan, I've been putting a few list
recipes to good use. I especially enjoyed the jalapeno jelly recipe- I've
eaten about 2 jars of it in the last, oh, two days. Mine came out more like
jalapeno preserves than jelly, but I like it just fine. My habs, cayennes
and Thai dragons are still giving me up to 50 pods a week- I have about 5
two foot ristras of Thais & cayennes hanging in the kitchen already, which
I think will be sufficient. That leads me to my first question: Does anyone
have a good cayenne sauce recipe? I am going to keep drying the Thais & use
them to make hot oil as I need it- but the habs- I've already canned jars
and jars of the hab/carrot sauce that I love so much, and I still have bags
of peppers to use- not to mention the ones still on the plants. Someone on
this list, at some point, posted a simple recipe for canning peppers- by
pouring hot vinegar over the peppers & sealing the jars. This leads me to
question 2: although the jars sealed OK, the liquid doesn't cover the
peppers- they floated up (and yes, I cut slits in each pepper)- is this a
problem? Also, anyone else have good hab recipes? I chew on fresh habs
right off the plant while I'm working in the garden, so if you've a got a
good, super hot (but flavorful) recipe, please send it along.
Cheers,
Rob
