The TSC Hot Pepper Challenge

[Spider]

It's almost time to pre-order this year's supply of Hatch Green Chiles. Does thay count? Haha.

Them’s pretty mild. Maybe if you see how many of them you can eat in a row?

 

[Cvargo]

I love hatch chili season!!

So pepper experts...
Missus picked up a big bag of red jalapeños a week ago and we decided they were too hot for us. I smoked a dozen of them alongside a pork shoulder on Saturday and they came out looking pretty good.
Tried biting one and regretted it for the next 15 minutes. Heat definitely intensified. They are now sitting in the freezer with a Do Not Eat label on the bag.

Recipe suggestions please!

well you just made Chipotle peppers so i would suggest making some salsa or hotsauce and just cutting them with some sweeter peppers/onions and tomatoes. Sweet will help counter the heat to a certain extent.

Well a rabbit came up on the deck and ate my ghost pepper plant. Luckily the wife found a Scorpion plant at the local greenhouse. Once the planters arent soup it will go in the dirt.

All pepper.... no flash.

The temporary plant shop closes this weekend, and the wife snagged me a ghost pepper for 50% off.

Pull off those flowers so the plant can grow.

Anyone have any peppers popping out yet? I have a few starting on my habanero plant.

 

[Spider]

A few are starting to come in. I’ve picked a few serranos.

Got quite a few ghosts, and a couple reapers.

 

[woodpusher]

Just buds and some fingertip-sized peppers so far. We've got pots of scotch bonnet, ghost, and scorpion. About 20 plants total.

About 20 plants total.

Impressive. That’s about what I have. Whatcha gonna do with all those peppers?

 

[woodpusher]

Eat them. Duh! .....................................
We froze a few ziploc bags full last year and enjoyed them until the spring. Just pull a few out and chop up into whatever is on the stove on a as-needed basis.

Yeah, of course. But I'm just saying, 20 plants is enough to fill a freezer with peppers right? Or do you not get high yields up there? Last year, I was filling a gallon bag with ghost peppers at least once a week. I gave away so many it was insane.

Always here to help if you run into a similar problem again this year
