How do i keep hobanero peppers after ive picked them?
I make hot sauce. I want to keep peppers for future use.
Answers:
Habanero Pepper Sauce
12 habanero peppers, stems removed, finley chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup distilled vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
Saute the onion and garlic in oil until soft; add the carrots with a small amount of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until carrots are soft. Place the mixture and raw chiles into a blender and puree until smooth. Don't cook the peppers, since cooking reduces flavor of the Habaneros. Combine the puree with vinegar and lime juice, then simmer for 5 minutes and seal in sterilized bottles.
Heat index : 9 on a scale of 1-10.
Oven Dried Jalapeno Peppers and Garlic Powder
Ingredients:
Hot peppers (Cayenne, Habanaro,Thai or whatever chilies you have grown)
garlic, chopped 2 to 4 to a cup of chopped peppers
parchment paper
I cut them in half or even quarters so the flesh is open and drys out faster and more even. Place peppers and garlic on a cookie sheet that has parchment paper on it. In only one layer. Bake at 200 degrees. Keep an eye on them and remove those that are dry so they don`t burn. 1-3 hours
Grind the pepper and garlic using a coffee grinder to make a chile powder. Store in a glass jar out of sunlight.
