food SKULLBIKER'S 2022 FLOG(food log)

That's an interesting observation SB. I wonder if that's true with other striped varieties?

Maybe someone will weigh in on other striped varieties. It would be interesting if they all showed similar traits.

Mmmmmmm, loaded jalapenos, lots of them. They were very good

Had stuffed bell peppers that I just picked also, but no pic.

The Emerald Fire Jalapenos from my GLOG, turns out it's less than half of what I need. Deseeded but including the "brain".

Squeezin the life blood out of them to make some jelly.

That bowl full got me just over a pint of juice, I need 40 oz..

I decided to make a nice green salsa so I saved the tailings for that. Started with some Brad's Atomic Grape tomatoes featuring a siamese one.

Added in the usual ingredients also, garlic, cilantro, onion(recently picked), lime juice. plus a bit of Jalapeno powder as it needed just a little more kick.

I ended up with 4 pints. As a note, those tomatoes are superb in salsa.

I took the Kossak Kohlrabi that I picked the other day plus another similar to it to make kohlrabi kraut. About 5 lbs total after peeling.
First I cut them up so I could feed the pieces into the Kitchenaid/grater.

I shredded them up, chopped up some of my recently picked Red Creole onions(which I find are the only onion to make my eyes water in many years), and buzzed a bunch of fresh Rio Haullaga Rocoto to add a little zip. I added 3% sea salt, let it rest a while and then packed it into a gallon jar with a vacuum fermenter lid. In a week(or more) we shall see what we have.

It rained a few hours today so I started a couple of larger sauce ferments. These are in gallon jars with the XL Vacuum Fermenter lids. Orange Spice Jalapeno in one and PeppaPeach(with two 7 Pot Bubblegum pods).

 

[skullbiker]

I got up early this morning and did a little canning. Three quarts of salsa and ten quarts of tomatoes.

 

[skullbiker]

Chick-Fil-A for lunch today. Spicy Deluxe Sandwich.

And the most important part.

SPAM deep fried in bacon grease! This will be diced up and added to my fried cabbage.

The fried cabbage.

cabbage, chopped onions, chopped rocoto and jalapeno peppers, bacon(and the grease), and diced deep fried SPAM.

 

[skullbiker]

The first 1 1/2 pint jar is full of Borg 9 mash and starting on the second one.

Saved some seeds from the "big" pods.

 

[Downriver]

Ouch.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

That's one insane looking ketchup replacement!

 

[Tinkerbelle]

that is going to sting - both ends
Is this something you've concocted for me because I can't get sriracha sauce?

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Hey SB, did it burn both ends? People need to know

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Only one. But the wrong one!

 

[Tinkerbelle]

ouch

 

[skullbiker]

That's one insane looking ketchup replacement!

I bet I wouldn't gain any friends if I put some of it in a ketchup squeeze bottle at a cookout!

that is going to sting - both ends
Is this something you've concocted for me because I can't get sriracha sauce?

I do have some "Brainstrain Sriracha" thats been fermenting since 9/7/21, how about that?

Hey SB, did it burn both ends? People need to know

There is some information that people don't need to know.

The other day I decided to smoke about 15 pounds of jalapenos, a couple pounds of sweet peppers, and some fresh tomato sauce. I'll make powder out of most of the jalapenos after freeze drying. The smoked tomatoes and sweet peppers are for a batch of salsa.

Yesterday I was smoking some pork loins.
