Walchit's Glog 2017

Hey guys, I figured I would go ahead and make a glog. Here is my first ripe super hot. Its off of a ghost pepper plant I bought at my local nursery. It looked more red on the plant, I may bhave picked it a tad early.

Well thanks for checking out my glog, I will update if anyone is interested. I also have a reaper plant that has quite a few pods, and I have been pulling Caribbean red habs, cayennes, and Thais about every other day.

That's a really great find for a farmer's market. Let us know how the salsa turns out, looks like it'll be a warm one

 

[Walchit]

Will do! I might have taken a nap instead, guess its late night salsa tonight

 

[Walchit]

Bout to jar these up, collected seed from the second box from the Texas hot peppers auction too!


Caribbean red habs, reapers and ghosts. All off of plants from the local nursery.

It looks like you have things pretty well dialed in Wally.   Keep 'em rolling buddy.

I really do appreciate you guys checking out my glog, its nothing compared to all of yours, but I do enjoy sharing here. Wound up with almost 6 quarts of salsa the other night genetiikx, its really good in my opinion and a few friends seem to really like it. It could be hotter though, I thought it was hot until I pulled out some Mrs renfros the other Night and its Quite a bit hotter than mine. I hope to plant enough tomatoes to really make some salsa next year. Figure a couple hundred ought to do the trick!

This is everything I've grown or bought this season and haven't eaten or given away. Nice to know I have some quality heat on hand! Oh and my buddy grew the pickles, and we threw in 2 each dragon cayenne, Thai and Caribbean reds. Letting them go another month or so before I try them.

That's a beautiful pic, Walchit, and a fun glog to follow! I love harvesting/processing time of the season. It's even more fun than the grow (to me). The combinations of different "stuff" you can make are endless! Plus, it's cool to see a big stack of jars representing all of your hard work throughout the season. Enjoy!

P.S.- start fermenting sauces, if you haven't already. It'll keep you doing "pepper stuff" year round

 

[Walchit]

Nice haul especiallyy the caribbeann habs ! 
 

Do you like the Caribbean reds? The plant seems to be putting on a lot of new pods right now, if they ripen before frost I could send you a box full. They are pretty much organic, grown between bells and Thais lol.

 

[PaulG]

Wow, looking just great Wal... love jars of beautiful color!

I'm growing Caribbean Red Habaneros for the first time
This season. Really looking forward to trying them.
Like little bite-sized nuggets of heat!

 

[Bhuter]

Great stuff, Andy! It's nice to see you're putting all of those pods to great use. Very nice Farmer's Market find. I'd sure like to have more chiliheads and markets around me. I've met a few people recently, but nobody really close. And nobody with extensive strain knowledge. Around here, if it's not a regular Ghost, Scorpion, or Reaper, they've never heard of it. Some never eat a second pod. Lol. Awesome stuff, my friend!

 

[karoo]

That is a great pic. Saving some heat for later.
No use growing and harvesting if there is no end game.

 

[Walchit]

I have been thinking about Doin a ferment, its just too easy to heat up vinegar, dump it in the jar and be done. I think I have a bubbler on this jug of wine I never used so I might give it a shot

 

[Malarky]

Bout to jar these up, collected seed from the second box from the Texas hot peppers auction too!
 

Any pics of your second box? hopefully that heat will last you through the winter

 

[Walchit]

Got them drying now

 

[Devv]

Good stuff here Wally!
 
I just love the pic of all the goodness you put up
 
If you're like most of us here, you wind up with way too many to eat as they come ripe.
 
Have you ventured into making powder yet? I see you're doing some drying there, yet another way to use the goodies

 

[Walchit]

I already have powder from doing trades and getting hooked up by the generous folks here, and two different kinds from Texas hot peppers. We will see what the next month or so does to the plants, I may have to powder some. I really wish I had more tomatoes, salsa is the main thing I'm after, I have years worth of hot sauce already!

 

[Malarky]

Put up some jam or jelly man.
You can add a lot of peppers for flavor because the sugar tempers the heat

 

[Walchit]

I've never tried pepper jelly, Always been Leary of it. I have seen a couple of you guys making it and if you are recommending it I should probably give it a shot. I will have to do a little research

 

[stickman]

Definitely make some peach jam with chiles! If you have Scotch Bonnet peppers handy they'd be ideal.
 
Canning tomatoes should be cheap and available now too. You go guy!

 

[Walchit]

I had put these in the jar, the scotch bonnets are from the farmers market. All of the whole ones turned brown... They are more brown than they look in this pic. You guys think I should just throw them away?
