    Chili or Chilli is the Texas dish. Chile is the plant / pod. Barbeque is what's used up north by me.

    Well the harvest is in full swing here in Minnesota. It's starting to get chilly at night so the peppers have really been turning the last week or so. I've been making chipotle by the freezer bag full along with a fair amount of dried chiles as well. It's been a great season so far. I'm...

    Are You Obsessed With Peppers/Sauces/Heat?

    Heh, I just printed out the health benefits of chile peppers for a co-worker. I eat enough of them that they cured my hayfever. (it used to be terrible this time of year) Hoping it will do the same for him but he doesn't quite believe me yet.:oops: oh btw, option 2, not as obsessed but catching up.

    Dried. I only have 12 pints of this stuff and half of those I'm keeping so if you want one you will have to pony up one of your own sauces in trade. :oops: (bbq or hot) The next time I will get a chance to make this particular sauce is when I actually grow the nagas next year.

    event Anyone know how to enter the Amateur Scovies?

    Yep, I added 1/2 dozen of the pods that I got from Muso to this batch, along with the usual chiles I use. (saved the seeds of course). I whipped up a batch of sloppy joes to test drive the stuff and it put sweat on my brow. Not a searing heat but a nice mellow burn that lasts a while after your...

    annuum Early Jalapeno vs common variety

    Shoot me a pm with your address and I will send some your way. I've been growing this strain for about 5 years now. Good sized pods with decent heat for a jalapeno. Their pretty good corkers too. I planted this year's crop in may and they are just starting to turn red now so their not the early...

    Big peppers!

    Not sure how long a whippet's tail is but I have a cayenne plant that has some 8 to 10" chiles on it which is pretty close to the big jim's I grew last year if not longer. Sante fe grande has to be the fattest of patch and my indian red plants are standing 4' easily.

    event Anyone know how to enter the Amateur Scovies?

    Don't bother. Due to legal crap there will be no amateur scovies anymore. You HAVE to have your sauce bottled by an FDA approved bottler to be accepted. :( Tell you what Chuk. I would be happy to exchange sauces with you and give you some feedback on yours if you would like to do the same.

    Well about the best your going to find is sites that have fairly generic descriptions such as below. The reason for this is that peppers can vary widely in heat range from the same plant, much less the same species. Scoville Units 16,000,000 Pure Capsaicin 5,300,000 Police-Grade Pepper Spray...

    Dehrydating Peppers

    Wash them clean, put them in, and fire it up! Your Jalapeno's will take the longest since they have the thickest skin and the most moisture. Really not much to it. I have my dehydrator set at 135 and it usually takes about 24 hours for 4 full trays of pods to dry. I have a much smaller...

    Red JalapeƱos?

    I believe that there is the misconception that the "cork" lines are bad. When picked before they cork and turn red the pepper is smooth and looks healthy.
