Jalapeno pepper plants
I have a hally peenyo pepper plant growing and it has some good sized peppers on it. I was wondering if you all grow these and how to do store them? Do you freeze them? Dry them out? If so, how?

Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
Traditional storage options are 1. drying, and 2. salsa!
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
We never have enough chilies left to worry about storing them.
Don't freeze them. Freezing ruins just about any fruit or vegetable. What you can't eat fresh, you should dry, can, or pickle.

Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
Got TONS of dried ones, never eat them - somehow, I find those hard bits really annoying, compared to salsa or pickled ones... They're nice to "store" though (after having dried) in good olive-oil, makes the oil real spicy...

Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
How do you all dry them? I looked online and there are a few ways...
Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
Just eat 'em. Don't dry them unless you've got so many that you can't eat another.
Stuff them with peanut butter and eat them whole. It's an excellent experience, I've been told.
I prefer a little more preparation. Slice them onto cheddar-jack cheese on Triscuits, microwave until melty, and munch. It's better with habaneros, but jalapenos are good, too.
Don't touch your face, or other parts, while slicing or after.

Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
One thing I always wondered about is why they are are almost always sold green and not fully ripened to a reddish orange color. I prefer the sweeter less grassy flavor, but unless I grow my own, ripe habanero and serrano peppers are what I usually drift towards for adding flavor.

Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
We always eat them fresh or can them either fresh or roasted. Don't wipe the sweat out of your eyes while canning, so I've been told. 
Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
Last year "tansy" suggested I try freezing some of my bumper crop of figs which I did. They were excellant throughout the winter, great color, texture and taste was little to no difference between fresh and frozen. I was really pleased.Redwolf wrote:We never have enough chilies left to worry about storing them.

You tend to see more red in a jar of pickled jalopenos.Jack wrote:I didn't even know jalapenos got red...

Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
And chipotle peppers are nothing more than fully-ripened (red) jalapeños that have been smoked. They're often canned in adobo sauce. Yum.s1m0n wrote:You tend to see more red in a jar of pickled jalopenos.Jack wrote:I didn't even know jalapenos got red...

Re: Jalapeno pepper plants
So I just realized that I don't like them.
I'm gonna dry them out and decorate with them.
