Loquats, or Japanese plums, are in season right now.  I'm thinking about going around town and picking them from everybody's houses and businesses, because most people just let them fall on the ground and rot.  Thinking about making some wine.   Have any of y'all make fermented loquats in any...

I'm trying to find some direction about bottling hot sauce in plastic bottles.  I've searched a bit, but everything seems sort of vague...at least for the home producer. Most of the sauces I make are on the thicker side, compared to the vinegar heavy sauces at least.  The 5oz woozy bottles I use...

Just noticed this in an email from Troy Primeaux. https://www.primospeppers.com/product-page/official-7-pot-primo-seeds It'll be nice to get them straight from the source for next years grow! And it's probably about time to re-up on that Swampadelic sauce...I don't know how I go through...

So, I'm growing one Peach Wasp plant.  It's doing great, one of my biggest, most prolific plants.  Saved the seeds from a pod I got from TexasHotPeppers.  I decided to grow it because the flavor and heat are outstanding, and it is definitely one of my favorite looking peppers. _ They just...

So, I'm growing a few white varieties this year, and it seems a lot of what I've read about ripens to different shades of white. Anyone have experience with different white pods. My Coyote Zan Whites were looking ripe, but I'm thinking they'll get a little whiter.  This pic was taken 4 days ago...

Anyone ever make barrel-aged hot sauce? I've read many times on here about how people like to let sauce age(usually after fermentation) to develope and mellow flavors. And we all know about that Tabasco stuff that's apparently fermented for years in oak barrels. But I don't know how that adds...

https://freemulch.abouttrees.com/#!/home I found this site bookmarked from who knows how long ago. Don't remember where I heard about it. But you sign up, and put in your name, address, etc. Then, whenever someone has a load of wood chip mulch in your area, they'll just drop it off rather...

So, this is really my first year focusing just on growing peppers. And I figured I'd push it a little over the limit...you know, just so I can see where my limit really is. This is also my first time starting seeds indoors, so I'm figuring out all the problems that go along with that. I bought...

So I went the the local Hispanic grocery store to get some cotija cheese...and when I saw they had some Manzanos, I had to get some. They were just labeled "Manzano Hot Pepper." I tasted a few slices and noticed no heat until I ate some of the placenta/membrane. The flavor was a bit...

Has anyone heard of these/know where to get seeds? We got them at the restaurant from a local farm, and of course I didn't think to save the seeds. They were about the size of a marble, crunchy and sweet, no heat. I pickled them whole, and of course the bar stole them all to garnish Bloody...

I just threw together some pickled pepper relish. I haven't tried it yet, but I based it on some of my pickle recipes that have done me good. I found some so called mini sweet peppers at the grocery store today, so decided to use those. Anyway...here's the recipe. And I didn't think to take...

The local farm supplier stopped by the restaurant other day and I was digging around the truck and found these. I don't know why, he usually knows the name of every variety on the truck, but he said he didn't know what these were. They gotta be jalapeños, right? I don't know of any other...

After being introduced to the amazing, and nuanced flavors that super hot peppers have, I'm interested in other mild, or not so hot varieties that still have a big flavor. I'm not to big on the annuum type flavor...grassy and vegetal. But more of the fruity, and floral flavors. I can barely...

I don't know if everyone has heard of this Rwandan chili oil, Akabanga. It comes in a little eye dropper bottle, and the only ingredients are "80% yellow pepper and 20% sun seeds oil." It seems different than the chili oils that are just dried chilies and other flavorings steeped in oil. I...

Has anyone ever tried dehydrating previously frozen peppers? I want to make some pepper powder, but I only have one or two dozen peppers ripe on the plants right now. I'd like to build up a stash before borrowing a dehydrator. I've frozen them before making sauce, and if anything that helps...

I'm an amateur gardener from South Louisiana. I'm trying to fit as many edible plants as I can in my relatively small backyard and front yard as I can. This year I started getting really interested in peppers, and will probably let them take over my vegetable garden in years to come. As of...
