    drying Chipotles?

    I've done a lot of reading this afternoon. You would think (at least, I would!) chipotles (genuine 'real McCoy') would be easy to find in south Texas. Not so. And not a lot online, either. Some, yes, but not an abundance of choices. I'm seriously considering producing genuine chipotles and...

    drying Chipotles?

    I have a commercial grade dehydrator and a commercial grade smoker. I have the equipment to cold smoke and hot smoke. Now, all that being said...   The way I've been making chipotles is cut the tips off to allow the moisture to escape, smoke them for 8 to 10 hours and then dehydrate them at 135...

    New Mexico (Hatch) chili seeds

    I've been removing the seeds and placentas from that bag of Hatch chilis my wife bought the other day. I have an estimated several hundred seeds and I'm just getting started on the bag.   I know most of y'all are into the weird and 'glow in the dark' stuff, but if anyone wants some, I'm happy to...

    New Mexico Chilis

    I recently stumbled on a recipe for Carne Adovada. It calls for New Mexico Chili peppers. Never heard of it. So, I started my 'homework'.   My wife found a source for dried whole and bought a bag. They run about 6 inches long, typical long tapered peppers. Being whole, all the peppers are still...

    How long for habaneros to ripen?

    If there's anything that will teach you patience, it's growing peppers. Pull the top off a cold beer. They'll ripen eventually.

    New kid, old dog
