Washing Up
We saw the local produce guy today. Not much to pick from today. He’s older and says it’s just too hot to get out there and dig up the potatoes, etc. He’s a great guy, and had 5-6 pounds of jalapeno peppers. We wanted some bell peppers, but he says they aren’t doing well, and then he tried to give me all of the jalapenos! He said they weren’t selling too well, and he’s made all the sauce he cares to make for now. He supposes the heat outdoors has people not wanting heat in their mouths.
Anyway, we ended up taking one of his two bags of peppers, about 3 pounds of red and green jalapeños. We just didn’t feel right taking all of those for free, and he wouldn’t accept money from them (we’re regulars and he knows us). So now, I have 3 pounds of jalapenos and need ideas on what to do.
I’m thinking just a simple cut, wash, and stuff into a jar and top with hot vinegar and salt (which I just did last night with some serranos)? I thought about drying them in my dehydrator, but really don’t know what to do with dried jalapenos. Thought about smoking some for a chipotle sauce. Maybe make salsa?
Anyone have any TNT ideas on what to do with this boon of jalapenos????
Thanks!
