I grew the same peppers! But they are sitting in my fridge. What is in the containers with them? Should I do that too?

This is just a small sample what I gew this year:

ace · Post by **ace** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 8:07 pm

I just put a little bit of garlic in with them. And its a basic pickling solution. 3cups 5-6%acidity vinegar 3 cups water 3tsp pickling salt. They will be good for months to come!! Here is a site that has some info on how to do it.

Man I hope you were wearing gloves when you cut them habs up.

A few of them go a very long ways. I like hot food but that's insane. LOL

I've been making Habanero salsa & hot sauce for a couple months now. My first batch of salsa ended up in the toilet! 10 peppers, 2 tomatos, 3 banana peppers, red wine vinegar, salt and a pinch of sugar. Way too many Habaneros and it was lethal! I have refined the recipes and now have a good stock of sauces and salsas with a ton of whole peppers in the freezer for future use.

What is your method of freezing the peppers?

My first batch of hot sauce was extremely hot. I used about 12 habs, couple of baby carrots, onion, garlic, salt and cider vinegar. It mellowed out after a little while and was very good!!

Hell yea!!! Had two pair of latex gloves on!!!!

I love hot food and this way I can keep these peppers for a while. I just moved into my new house back in Feburary and didnt get a garden going here because I had plenty of other things to worry about. So my mother in law told me to plant a few plants in her garden and I cant believe how they took off. I will keep getting them until we get a hard frost. Well into October this year.

I had my wife blanch them along with all the other veggies from our garden. I could probably get away with just throwing them in a freezer bag cuz all i use them for is salsa and sauce, but what the heck, they might maintain some "crispness" by blanching.

The sauce and salsa tastes so damn good being right out of the garden. It simply can't be duplicated by stuff on the grocer's shelf!

I have a friend at work who eats Habaneros like apples. I'm not joking when I say he must have an artificial bung

yep! never go pee pee after cutting habs

and,ya,the habs are too hot for everyday food stuff,I prefer the mid range heat like jalapeno/cayenne/thai dragon/etc,etc

It really depends I think. I processed these and will not touch them for at least 6 weeks. The heat will still be good but it will mellow out a bit. Put these on some pizza!!!! Cant wait. My brother gets a jar of these cause he loves them as much as me. He is the one who got me started on franks many years ago.

Really? Did you get plants and transplant them, or did you start from seeds. Yes I am talking about pepper plants

Packed with cold paks and styrofoam and shipped overnight.

LMMFAO!!!!!

I got them when they were about 6" tall and transplanted them. I might try and get something different for next year and start from seed.
