I pickled them whole in vinegar and salt. I took a steak knife and jabbed 7 or 8 holes in each pepper.  |

Todays harvest and pickling. These I'm just using straight white vinegar and sea salt. I pierce the peppers a number of times to let the brine in. I also use glass fermenting weights to keep them completely submerged.  |

Added another jar of these to the fridge this morning. Probably the last. There are still green ones, but those will be eaten fresh and given away as they ripen. These are always a great project.
This is the first jar of pickled peppers I emptied from this pepper season. First wash, steam and re-use.

Their red cousin is as hot as any habanero. These are hot, but cayenne heat. They are really fruity tasting.

Pepper Review
I just sampled the smallest pepper here, the second from the right. There IS plenty of heat here. Like I've said here before, about Cayenne SHU level. The taste is both fruity and slightly floral. There aren't a lot of seeds here. This is not a pepper that you want to eat raw, like I just did. I think this would combine well with dark chocolate and cumin for a delicious chili base. I think this would also be good with grilled fish and lime. Oh well, just thinking.

mike, how many gardens do you have going at once? Everyday, I see an entire bowl of harvested peppers! This is amazing!
