Wow!
 
I've been busy this week, and I see you have been too!
 
Processing is half the fun/work
 
Glad to see a nice harvest up your way. The garlic, take one and cut the top off 3"s from the bulb. If it's still green it has a while to go. This year I had to move mine inside to finish drying. To much humidity out there this summer. So when mine were still green at the 3" mark they hit the extra table under the ceiling fan. I cut the roots when the tops were done drying. You will develop a feel for when the tops are right as time goes by.

Thanks for the tip. I will snip one this weekend and see how it looks.

Want some those guajillo seeds. The dried pods I had where tasty. My yellow tepin still doesn't have any pods

Those three are in the dehydrator. Next ripe pod I will save some seeds.

Have you stuffed a MW yet, is it too hot?

I did not stuff a MW yet. Maybe next round. With the amount of pods I should finish with, I am thinking a smoked puree with them will be nice.

Plants are still loaded with almost ripe pods and newly formed pods.  I think I over stepped my bounds this year.

Wow brother you are really cranking out some beautiful pods. Love all the different shapes and colors. I was thinking it would be cool to have some professional posters made up of a bunch of different peppers all labeled. Keep it green

Cheers

 

[grantmichaels]

Mmmm ... colorful  pods! ...

Nice money shot Terry! 15 pounds, really? Good luck with your experiments in preserving the harvest, and keep on truckin'!

Nice harvest Terry! I'm really glad to see you're doing so well this season
Once you have your fill of them you can give some to a local restaurant, if you frequent one. I did the same with my 2014 harvest and got a few free meals, with beers, and they made some hot sauce for me too   I think I gave them around 60lbs that year.

First batch of jam. JHP's Mystery Wine pods and locally sourced Jersey peaches. This is a repeat of a Jam I made last year.

Definitely a crowd pleaser! Have you ever tried using it as a glaze on BBQ or baked ham?

Thanks Chris. I will crack a jar open this weekend to see how it tastes.

Not yet Rick. Last year Devan used it on a pizza he made and he really liked it. I am going to incorporate it into BBQ real soon.

If you want to make more... try making peach jam with MoA Bonnets or the Bahamian Goats... they kick it up a notch and complement the peaches very well!

Nice haul. Jam looks delicious.

That one's rockin' ...

Can you post the jam recipe? I think it would make a nice addition to my pepper usage

This is the recipe I used.

Normally I make it with powdered pectin instead, but this time I made it with liquid pectin.  It came a little bit looser than last year because I screwed up on the amount of pectin to use.  It was my error, not the recipe.  I used 13 Mystery Wine pods for this batch.

I didn't get to check on the plants too much this week and I did some picking this morning.


Lighting wasn't great but another nice sized harvest. I finally trimned the garlic and they are now ready for storage.

I found this guy while I was picking.

One stem...three pods.

Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Would that make the first pod the father of triplets?   Nice money shot of your harvest Terry! Looks like your time is not your own until you process all that poddage...

 

[grantmichaels]

Nice! Wow ...

Her are some more individual pod shots.
