The Hot Pepper

Next weekend: another double batch of black raspberry jam and a double batch of mulberry jam. 'Tis the season!

Then, a few gallons each of mixed berry pie filling and a few gallons of jalapeño jelly and I'll be done.

Raspberry jam question, do you strain to get the seeds out. I do a lot of blackberry, gotta strain the crunchies.

you grew tomatillos?

Nice HM01.
Did 20 pints myself.

You haven't grown tomatillo's Heckle, you should.

I have.

aj: I never strain. I'm faaaaar too lazy for that. Besides, I like the roughage.
Heckle: I grew the hell out of some tomatillos!
Jeff: Just looked out the window at my work - exactly 20 pints of green goodness. Now I need to get a pork loin!

I bet you did!

Where is this recipe? I want to compare it to ours.

Jeff posted it in a status update at my request. I'll find it.

HM01- I made this recipe 5 times. Substitute peppers to get the heat you want.
5 cups chopped tomatillos
1-½ cups seeded, chopped long green chiles
½ cup seeded, finely chopped jalapeño peppers
4 cups chopped onions
1 cup bottled lemon or lime juice
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin (optional)
3 tablespoons dried oregano leaves (optional)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

That's 2.5 gallons of goodness.
