Hi, friends. It was sobering to be called a "lurker" by CaJohn at the
outdoor kitchen of his and JoeBanero's at open fields, but then I do read way
more than I post. But then my husband is the chile grower around here. Stu
has asked me to ask you all a question, until he can retry joining the
digest. I guess his first try got caught in the isp changes.
He's wondering if anyone can direct him to a good bread and butter jalapenos
recipe. We got a bumper crop at home, plus a bunch more from Jim's fields,
and they seem to be holding up ok til we figure out what to do with them. We
got some good sweet pickled ones in Texas but they're a memory now. Anyone
got a good easy recipe? We've never done hot water bath pickling, but might
start to lay up a stash of these jals.
Stu spend three hours last Sunday roasting many many NuMex and poblano
peppers on the Webber. Smelled like the Hatch Chile Festival! We're still
eating the green chile from last fall, but hope to work on a new batch to put
in the freezer. I liked that Rellenos Guillermos casserole posted a few
weeks back and hope to do more with the frozen roasted poblanos over the
winter.
Sounds like a hard freeze tomorrow night--guess the mulatos hanging in dozens
outdoors won't get a chance to really ripen, altho we don't know what a ripe
one looks like... Any advice? Got them from the Chilepepper Institute in a
trio of mole seeds.
