Thumbs up, seems like your having great fermentation :) I have some peppers fermenting. Veggies are similar to yours, only I added 1 tomato, and shredded everything with a blender. Addeed a little whey as a starter and after a day or two it took off. Waiting is the hardest part of fermentation :D

I'm also in trouble with the number of varieties for the next season - I have seeds for 50 varieties of hot peppers! Not enough space for all of them :D I will have to exclude some of them, or some will be grown with the courtesy of my friends. Hopefully :)

Rick, I'm sorry to hear that your growing season is coming to an end, hope you can squeeze a little bit more in nextfew weeks. I hope you are satisfied. Your glog was very inspiring (both peppers and cooking food wise :)) and I learned a lot coming here, reading your posts. Now it's time for you...

Thanks for stopping by Rick. Yes, in the matter of shape and looks, Bishop's crown is an exceptional pepper. The problem is, they tend to grow very mild in mild climate, and that's what happened to mine - they have very little heat or no heat at all (mine where grown with only a few hours of...

I'm still harvesting, lot's of plants are having second crop, some are going to first ripe pods, all in all I'm enjoying it :) Judging from the weather guys, we will have an Indian summer in Croatia till the end of October, so things are looking good in prospective :) Jalapeno M Piquins...

Ok, I have some peppers fermenting. Put some hot peppers with garlic,onion, tomatoes and bell peppers in a mash. Cant wait :) One question though- is it good that my mash separated? The right jar was separated even more, but I shaked the jar. And is it good to shake it? :D TIA

I used my tomato sauce, run 3 purrira peppers, bell pepper and onions through blender, ad it to the paste and cooked it until it was thick enough. the rest of modification is this - I used a tbs of allspice powder, half tbs of cinnamon powder, one spoon of mustard with seeds (since I didn't...

That sounds great :)Usually I like to have a concentrated version of hot sauce, and for non chileheads I dilute it with a homemade tomato sauce or ketchup. You get a hot ketchup that goes great on pasta with eggs and cheese.Just a few days a go I made some hot ketchup using 3 purrira peppers...

Excellent work Rick! I new I had to come here to get some new ideas :) Those ripe jalapenos recipe sound great, will have to try it. I have some beautiful ripe jalapenos and I'm not sure what to do with them, this sounds delicious.

Fatali is my favorite kind of chiles, do I need to say more? :) Excelent citrus flavour, nice heat. Great fresh or powdered, superb for use in stews or sauces. If you like I will send you some seeds. In a last month I've spent a lot of time in kitchen, cooking tomato sauces and preserving...

Thanks. Looking forward to future adventures ;) P.S. Susjedi su zivi, a sto se Podravke tice, ovo mi se pokazalo kao najbolji nacin upotrebe njihove ambalaze :D Things are going ok here, and I was quite busy last few weeks (or maybe a month :D) so I wasn't here much. Weather is still...

Great harvest, your plants are loving you!

Thanks Rick. I preserve most of the harvest for later (salsa, sauce, dried, pickled and frozen peppers), because I'm the only one in family that likes this kind of heat so much :D

Great info, a lot of valuable stuff is here :) I have one question though. What about uncooked sauces? There is no info on that subject I personally like them for their fresh taste, but are they safe to eat if vinegar was used in 1:10 ratio, with a little salt and sugar? IE, today I made...

Since the season is going well, there is not much left to wright, only to show off with pic :D Hope it goes great for all of you out there :)

I got my first harvest last week, so I decided to give those peppers a good use :) Jalapeno sauce with avocado: 6 green jalapenos 1 avocado 3 pieces of garlic 1 sweet pepper 1 onion apple cider vinegar, some sugar and salt a little bit of lime juice Chopped all the ingredients, cooked them...

Jelly came out great. Since I was making jelly for the first time I was basically following this recipe: http://allrecipes.co...jalapeno-jelly/ Instead of liquid pectin I used 1 big apple and 1 medium size peach. And I used some generic jelly fix to make the liquid thicker. Only the color isn't...

Boy, do those Poblanos look great :) I followed your advice on apples instead of liquid pectin in a pepper jelly. I made some jalapeno jelly with apples and peaches, it tastes great, thanks for advice :)

I think I'm safe with frost till late October, so Poblanos should have enough time to ripe. i gave them a big 20 litre pot with good soil, it should provide enough food for them. I didn't grow tomatillos till now, and no ripe ones yet. I guess in a few weeks. Thanks!

I think that this plant is not a Red Habanero, it looks a lot like Peach Habanero. Since I didn't grow them before, is there any Peach Haba grower to confirm this? @stickman, Poblano is making a big move. It didn't grow in height last few days, but there are 3 buds on top, almost ready to...
