Okay! So you take your honeyed Habs and finish the candy(ing) process....
Pretty simple process which involves simmering the "Fruit" in a sugar syrup
until it's transparent and then letting them dry.
Check your cook book for candied orange peel or maybe candied ginger. How
about candied Habanero strips dipped into dark chocolate?! (Evil
Chuckle....Halloween thinking here, -trick or treat (Yes, I'll have one of
each, please).... Maniacal giggling, "Would you like a piece of candy,
deary?" (Didn't your mother tell you NEVER to take candy from strangers!) Or
how about Habanero Christmas fruit cake?
Could we have discovered a new chile treat?
Cheers, Steve
My spell checker thinks habanero should be capitalized, we know why this
should be, but why does it? (El Grande moves in mysterious ways...)
