Eating spicy peppers

[NickW]

I love hot peppers, I grow my own Habenero every year. I make a habenero puree. I cut up a pint jar full of habeneros, (discard seds and ribs) Toss in a toe of garlic, and chunk of onion, a small carrot. Top off the jar with extra virgin olive oil, and vinegar, with a dash of kosher salt. Let it sit for a month or two in the fridge, then blend until smooth. I use about a pint a year. The whole hot in, hot out?..... I never evperienced that.

You're a very lucky fellow...

How do you use the puree?

That sounds good. What all do you use it on/with? The hot in and out is something I haven’t experienced before till this year. If you eat enough you should be able to feel it. It took me eating 3 or so jars of pickled peppers in less than a week to feel mine. Maybe it is cumulative?

Darn it, Talking about this again is making my mouth water for Pork steaks and pickled peppers but I can’t buy any because these yahoos around here are buying them all up and freezing them.

Sounds good but you throw away the hottest part
the seeds chew on a few then you will know hot in hot out
But I'm going to try what you make

I make a bbq sauce with the puree and fresh, whole cranberry sauce. Great on pork smoked on cherry wood! Apple works well too.

i love the flavor of habeneros, too much heat and it kills the flavor for me

Agreed. It's mostly about the flavor for me, but you have greater tolerance for heat than I. I stick mostly to jalapenos. This year I got some Allepo pepper seeds to try. That is what we now use for chili flakes. Love the flavor.

Also keeping in mind that peppers (as well as onions and garlic) have been used medicinally for tens of thousands of years.

In that case, I should be healthy as an ox.

LOL. I just tried nettles for the first time. Sauteed with garlic. Not bad. We are going to blanch up a batch and mix with swiss chard from the garden. Hope they don't itch on the way out.

Ramps will be up in a week or so here. I am looking forward to them, I have a LOT in my woods. One spring I collected enough to completely stuff a chicken with them. OMG......it was wonderful!

Ramps are a wild onion/garlic like herb, ungodly expensive if you have to buy them but easy to harvest if you know what to look for. They love well drained woodlands. I can't post a picture without downloading one, they are not up quite yet.

Ok we have the same thing but we call them wild leeks
Pickle about 5 to 7 jars every year
If you pick everything in a patch they will not come back always leave some

It seems we have these in our front yard. Always wondered where that onion smell came from.

I just read that the native Americans used them to treat respiratory viruses.
