My Habanero's are READY!!!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST WAY TO STORE THESE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME WELL I GUESS NOT THAT LONG OF TIME ANY WAYS IS GOOD OK WELL NEED HELP THANX
 
Usually when I buy peppers from the store, I like to put them in a paper bag and put them in the crisper/veggie part of the fridge. I don't care for plastic bags because they hold in the moisture and eventually lead to mold. You'd be good for a couple weeks this way, but anything longer and you'll lose your peppers.
 
If you are planning on cooking with them, you can freeze them whole. I also like to dice them up real small and mix in a little of olive oil with them. Then place them in an ice cube tray. When once frozen, they can be placed in a zip lock bag and will keep for a long time. I also like to dehydrate them and then grind them up for powder.

I also heard someone telling me that if i put my peppers in a jar full of olive oil is this true?

You want to make sure that you don't make Botulism. I've heard that oil and peppers can be unsafe.
 
Make a nice rich cheese sauce, dice andoullie sausage and onions into the sauce, open the peppers up and stuff them with the cheese sauce, freeze them for frying later.......

Making me drool Cheezy

Cheezy does have a way of flowing with culinary prose that tittilates the senses. I reckon the origions are rooted in his lenghty experience in talking dirty back in his porn star days.

Cheers, TB.

Ahhhhh yes.....It's like it was just yesterday......


It was the food that ended my pron reign......

On the set, I just kept cooking! I was obsessed.

We were on a 4 day marathon shoot. 5 hours into day 4, I was frying up some hab poppers. They looked so lovely..... I'm afraid that in my sexually induced haze, I mistook the sensual lovelyness of the popper for....well......something else.

I had third degree burns down there, and a smile they couldn't remove with a crow bar.

That's why I now cook whenever I want, and have a bionic wiener.;)

*enter the bionic man sound as I stuff some poppers;)*
 
Sheeeee... a whole new meaning to stuffed poppers CheezyD.

TB- you could always resort to pickling if need be. I used half-used small glass bottles of white vinegar and stuff whatever peppers I have inside, usually serranos. Add about a tbsp of kosher salt and top off with some water... you'll be fishing out pickled peppers with a bamboo skewer in a day or two, have spiced vinegar to whip out on Drunken Chef nights, and that vinegar is a hell of a self defense weapon in a spray bottle.

Cheers!
 
True SOMB. But best to refridgerate that if kept longer than a few days.

Dried and ground or used as crushed habs for pizza and pasta is always a winner.

Any self respecting chilihead must have a dehydrator.
 
They definitely can be frozen whole. I don't like the soft texture when they are thawed out, but for sauce , salsa, or poppers, they are fine.

Dried is best IMHO.
 
Thats good to know, i was hoping that they could be frozen whole like that, if all my peppers bloom and grow, there is no way that we will be eating them all, and it would be a nice treat come winter here.
 
I was thinking pickled might be a reasonable way to help with pod integrity while in storage. Help keep from getting that soggy post freezerness. No?
