I’ve waited all season for a bountiful harvest, I think this counts.
It’s finally time to make some hot sauce, chile powder and pickle some spicy peps!
I’ve had my eye on hundreds of green pods all season just waiting for them to fulfill their vibrant destiny. I strategically coordinated this day of ripening with a planned sick-day to focus on what’s really important: peppers. I spent most of my time concocting innovative hot sauces and of course processing chiles. I had my organic produce, rubber gloves, face-mask, hot sauce bottles, industrial blender, and dehydrator ready to pump out some fiery sauces and tongue tingling powders. And that’s just what I did.
2 types of Mango Hot Sauce, My own Tiger Pot sauce and some Middle Eastern Harisa.
As long as we hold off the frost for another 2-3 weeks, I should be able to harvest a couple hundred more peppers and pump out some more sauces.
Oh, I forgot to mention that we went to the Chile Pepper Festival in Bowers, PA last month. We had a blast fraternizing with fellow chile heads and tasting some fiery foods.
Until we meet again, check out this high tech hot saucing from the FromScratchClub.
PEPPERMEISTER! 
Great post. October is my favorite time of year! I had a great harvest from my little garden. I am still waiting for my scorpion peppers to ripen. I hope they do before the frost comes.
Great to hear, October is a great month to live in farmland, NJ because all the harvests are coming in. Great way to score some local organic produce to compliment my spicy peps. I’ve got a a few superhots that look like they’re going to need some more time before frost comes. Last year, I would just bring a few slow growing plants in at night (once frost started) and take them back out during the day. That’s the beauty of container gardening.
Is a hot sauce eating video in our future? (Or let’s face it, is this just getting old?)
I believe a spicy food cook off is in our future. Spicy contests never get old. People love to watch others in pain.
YUM, on anything with Mango! Those peppers are so pretty to look at, I’d like to decorate my house with them. 🙂
Yes, mango and brightly colored fruity hot peppers go really well together. I added some agave syrup for even more sweetness, great with pork quesadillas.
I have lots of red chillies now. They seem to have all come out at once.
