BilletHead Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 What can we do with all these peppers? Smoke them for a treat. I run the smoker about 220 degrees with hickory. Time will vary to your specifications or desired doneness. We like ours soft but pliable. When you are ready to use split and scrape our membrane and seeds if you want a milder pepper. We also vacuum seal and freeze. These give chili and anything you might use peppers an added flavor. A slice or two on a sandwich too and nachos, yes! Photos of just picked, in the smoker and done. Jalapenos and chili peppers today. I have a friend in St. Louis that does habaneros and other hotter peppers until done and then puts them in the dehydrator to get totally dry. Then he grinds them into a dust. Sprinkles it on all sorts of foods. Says it is flavorful and not too hot. Disclaimer I have not tried it so proceed with that with caution.

Walleyedmike Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Great idea BilletHead! I just got done dicing up 36 cups of green peppers that were packed in freezer bags. I need to can some jalapenos, but will be smoking some now as well. I didn't plant any chili peppers but I know where I can get some. Was wondering, though how long did you smoke yours? Just looking for a starting point. Thanks! WM

BilletHead Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 Mike, Sorry for a late response. Been gone off grid for two weeks. I usually smoke long enough to soften the peppers to the limp side. Depending on temp. Could take an hour to four or more.

rps Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Lately I have been canning peppers. I use my very traditional deep south bread and butter recipe, but I use hot peppers. The hotter the better. Every jar I have given away has prompted rave reviews.
