amazing production! Nice work!!!

I've done it both ways. Cut in half, and cut off stem... Opened and dried and also just thrown in whole. Just know it will take a lot longer to dry as a whole pepper. I usually pluck off the stems when dried (when I do it that way) prior to grinding up. But it is about what you like :) (and...

So the Jamaican Hot Chocolate are pretty interesting from what I'm reading. I loved the Chocolate Habanero (or Brown Congo depending where you pick up your seeds). I like that the description says more flavor than the Chocolate Hab. Interesting find there @NJChilihead ! Of course, Brown...

I'm going to go look those up now. I know its hard to believe when I say I have picked on avg 16k peppers a year - that I'm worried about production - lol - but if I take the time to baby these sometimes/often times finicky bastards for months, I'd like most for my little garden that I can get...

Absolutely will! I will say I was looking for a better producing Red Habanero type. I have always grown the Caribbean Red and Red Savina's and over the last few years they are so hit or miss. I did get a gallon+ bag Caribbean Red's total (in freezer) and 2 Red Savina gallon bags (that I have...

Like most of you as things slow down in today's garden, I'm hot on planning for next year. Few things are off the list from the past and a few new ones are going to be tried again. I'm planning on growing new next year (well, starting in a couple months!) California Reaper, Dragon's Breath...

We made 4 jellies yesterday. More of the Aji Pineapple, Sugar Rush Peach, Atomic Starfish and Scotch Bonnet. We had made the Aji Pineapple a while back but had a "tasting" where friends/neighbors/pepper fans came by to try things... And we sold all of those quickly. Love the Sugar Rush Peach...

Things have calmed down on the pepper pick front. However, don't tell the superhots on our deck :) They are going nuts. It has been VERY dry (no rain for 36 days until a .13 inches last night). So things are naturally wiltering as most love natural rain vs rain barrel water (even though...

I have also been thinking of making another way as you are 100% correct. It takes a TON of sugar... but i use sparingly so haven't jumped on changing that recipe just yet. If I do however, I'll certainly post results. Sure you will do the same. I haven't tried glazing ham but now I am intrigued!

AWESOME! I will have to try that next. We have enough to use for sure. We've tried several in the past and fan favorites (friends/family/neighbors) have been Habanero, Kung Pao and Datil so far. Datil for the Lemon tasting habanero level heat. Kung Pao (really some call Joe Cayenne) amazing...

Deck Superhots in buckets are thriving. These are Carolina Reapers except for the first 2 on left which are Apocalypse Scorpions. I thought I had more pictures of these - but I guess not. I'll take a couple new shots in next couple days and post those.

I will say the Aji Pineapple and Aji Amarillo are slowing down and getting weathered look like dying - but I've fertilized again with Calcium to see if I can keep going. These two have been crazy good as a new pepper for me this year. Will grow both again for sure. The taller plants (middle...

Habanero's in buckets outside of garden2 also going crazy...

Scotch Bonnet's (Freeport Orange) in buckets are producing like crazy right now. I literally picked all these - then had more ripen overnight.

We have had a couple cool nights (unusual for us this early) so expect some things to start slowing - if not stopping all together soon. However, most of what we have is still flowering and producing pretty well! Some just now coming to life like majority of superhots and Datil... Habanero...

Our JAB Farms product over the last couple weeks... Jelly's, Hot Salsa's, Relishes, Pickles (hot and not)... pantry can't hold all this - so on floor in living room!

Saturday's pick (minus the Banana, Jalapeno and Serrano's we used in slices - that pic in a few).

Ok, hadn't realized it had been so long since I updated. We are picking TONS of peppers and over the last week have made triple batches of Kung Pao Pepper Jelly, Aji Pineapple Pepper Jelly, Aji Amarillo Pepper Jelly, and Habanero Jelly. A triple batch of Sweet/Hot Pepper Relish...

Thanks! Harvest is usually larger to be honest, but still good... I missed a window to fertilize and keep plants producing at earlier pace - life/work gets in way! But that has been corrected and OMG is everything loaded again. Superhots are coming in like crazy and Habanero, Scotch Bonnet...

Hey! It's a lot of work - but rewarding too... Sugar Rush Peach is a new one for me. I haven't made anything with them yet as I'm waiting for more to ripen. I've been storing in freezer until I have enough that peachy (non-yellow) look. I've been eating a lot of those in my salads for lunch...
