Members ThePilgrim Posted September 8, 2014 Members Share Posted September 8, 2014 I don't, but I used to keep ducks. I saw in the TV listings that Dr Who was going to meet ROBin Hood in Sherwood Forest this evening. (Didn't watch it.) Tonight I did ham and cheese omelette with salad. A couple of questions for the jalepeño experts. 1. I had one a couple of days ago which was very hot. I had one today that was not hot at all. They were from the same plant and picked at the same time. Any idea why? 2. Do you save the seeds for next year? 3. Do you keep the plants from one year to the next? The seeds are the hottest part of the pepper. I pickle my peppers so I can eat them all year round. I did 26 pints this year. Here is my Pickled Jalapeno Recipe: Ingredients are for one pint. Adjust accordingly for number of pints. 1 pint jalapeno peppers 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1/2 cup water 1/8 tsp pickling salt 1 cloves garlic 1 Slice peppers or leave them whole. 2 (To prevent bursting, cut two small slits in whole peppers.). 3 Pack peppers tightly into clean, hot jars. 4 Combine vinegar and water; heat to a simmer. 5 Do not boil. 6 Pour hot vinegar over peppers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. 7 Add pickling salt and a clove of garlic to each jar then seal. 8 Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Yield: 1 pint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 2bLikeJesus Posted September 8, 2014 Members Share Posted September 8, 2014 When I lived in Texas for a bit, I could carry over a Jalapeno plant for many years, but unfortunately, Jalapeno plants don't like Oregon winters (their not even thrilled about our summers with the cool evenings in the mid 50's) so they will not survive till next year. I would get 50 fold more production out of my Texas plants. Spaghetti tonight, and since I personally LOVE to cook, you can bet nothing will be coming out of a jar when I make my spaghetti. My spaghetti sauce has to simmer for 2 hours. Will have Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese zucchini, with toasted garlic Italian bread to go with the spaghetti. Have not decided on dessert but leaning towards just a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream with frozen blueberries. Invicta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ThePilgrim Posted September 9, 2014 Members Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the recipe. Is ½ cup 4 fl ozs? Yes Oh, and don't remove the seeds. I slice my peppers crosswise about 1/4 inch slices. Pack them in the jar as tight as you can. Edited September 9, 2014 by ThePilgrim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
