Anyone have a recipe for lots of Hot Peppers?

[PunkRotten]

Hi,

I grow several types of Hot Peppers; Serrano, Bulgarian Carrot pepper, Lemon Drop etc. Right now I got so many that I don't know what to do. I have been making lots of salsa but can't keep up. Any raw recipes that utilize hot peppers? Thx

You could do this with them:

If you use oil in dressing you can put a few in the oil to make it spicy. Dehydrate them for use in the winter. Freeze them for use in winter. Give some to friends and neighbours. Swap them with other growers for things you need. Sell them.

ALL excellent suggestions!

Maybe trade with some vendors at the farmer's market.

I will try it with dressing next time. I have dehydrated peppers before only works well with thin walled peppers. Only 1 out of the bunch is a thin walled pepper. Never froze peppers, how is the texture once you thaw it out? I did this once with tomatoes and all came out mushy. And they were only suitable to make sauce out of at that point.

You can juice those mushy tomatoes with a blender. You just need to strain them through a nut milk bag. I freeze organic tomatoes when I get too many to use (sometimes I get them free from my church) and then juice them that way!

Add peppers to lemonade, soak for a few hours and remove (if you wish). Peppers can be left in for the ultra brave.

String them up as a hanging decor.

Ooooh, good one!

I add them to my raw vegetable teriyaki and chili recipes

Yes they will be mushy if you freeze but you can still add to dressings and raw cracker recipes. You can cut the thick walled ones into smaller pieces to dry them or just slice down one side and open like a butterfly to dry.
