Hot Chilli Harvest
So this is what 3 lbs of chillies look like!
I’ve got some preserving to do!
Until next time, Eat Well & Keep Digging (and keep some milk on hand!)

That’s some chili harvest, David! And 3 lbs, to boot! Excellent.
You might enjoy this. I tried and tried but couldn’t find any crates of Mission figs anywhere, nor could I find cherry bomb peppers. I did find some figs by the pint and bought a few. That same weekend a farmer was selling small Tulip bell peppers and I bought some of them. I brandied the figs and pickled the peppers. Today, I went back to my Italian market for provisions to bring to Michigan. They had crates of Mission figs for $4.99 and cherry bomb peppers. I bought and pickled the peppers, even though I’m leaving at dawn! I just couldn’t pass ’em up! If they have those figs when I get back, I’ll be making jam!

It’s more chillies than I can use. So I made 8 more half pints of sambal and I’m bring a bunch to work to give away. I need more figs to turn into Jam! Safe travels John.

I did jar some – but I’ll be drying as well, and likely making some chilli oil from the red ones…
