Downriver 2023 - Pepper Time

Like others, I debated on having a Glog this year, but figured “what the heck”. It's been fun in past years, so let's give it a go.

Hopefully we'll end up posting pictures like this later in the Season!

The Ghostly Jalapeno Red is a wild looking pepper. Is it delicious?

[Tinkerbelle]

[Downriver]

SBS Demon Habanero, Chocolate NOT (another "mix" from THSC)

 

[Downriver]

SBS Demon Habanero, Chocolate - I'm not so sure this looks like THSC's pic of the pod. What do you think?

 

[Downriver]

Lemon Dropkick


And to close out this update, here are some peppers that got roasted/smoked. On the left, Prairie Spice (for fajitas), and on the right, Paper Lantern Habanero, for some sauce making. Yum.

Firing on all cylinders, DR! Those all look great.
The Purple Thunder Mystery red Dr look like a
repeat performance,

 

[Downriver]

The Ghostly Jalapeno Red is a wild looking pepper. Is it delicious?

It's.....ok, lol. Has some heat, thin-walled. I decided to dry it and make flakes/powder. Probably use it as a "hot" cayenne type. And I agree, it does look wild, lol.

It's interesting that the Orange variety doesn't really look like the Red. It's kinda fruity and is hotter.

 

[Downriver]

I still want a cattywumpus

Do you think that might be doable? I'm game if you are, lol.
