Got the chance to meet up with Captain Capsaicin (Jesse) last week and pick a pile of pods from his garden (all his plants looked awesome, and he has bigger plans for next year) as we traded for several seeds he was interested in. So what to do with all the pods since I have 2 of my first ferments going now and am waiting to see how they come out before starting any more and have a decent supply of powder on hand now? I found Alabama Jack's thread awhile back about his Puree recipe and decided to give it a go. I stuck with his guidelines and added a bit of fresh ginger and garlic to it. So I had a big mix of pods and didn't use just one variety but separated them into Red's, Brown's and Yellow's and went with it. Had about 900 grams of Red's, 450 grams of Brown's and 400 grams of Yellow's. Only been able to sample the Red since canning it and am very pleased with the results, will alter the amount of garlic and ginger by adding bit more of both next time around. Ended up with 27 - 4 oz jars with one of which being a mix of all 3. Step Son came up with the names as he wanted to help do something and I asked if he could do the labels. It was great to meet yet another grower close by and see how he was doing things and what his ideas and plans were for next year as its winding down fast up here.
no worries about 'false advertising' with those names~
