they r reapers, little bit in anything that takes spice, had a little bit in spagbol was the shizz. this season will b drying them

You can candy the reapers to reduce the heat a bit. I've got some ghosts going atm and going to pickle some and candy the rest also got some black something rather and a couple others the missus threw in.

I chop some up and add into a jar of olive oil and let it sit in the fridge for a few months, warning do not add it to a hot fry pan the gas is like mace, it’s fuckin brutal.

Every few months I make a 4 gallon batch of chilli. I put in some Thai birds eyes, jalapenos, ancho, guajillo, chipotles and 2 carolina reapers but I switched the reapers out for 20 habaneros.

The reason being the reapers have a bitter taste whereas the habaneros have a fruity/capsicum taste. So the heat level is the same, just without the bitterness.

 

[Gazza]

That sounds real nice

I love to make jalapeno poppers mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[frankreynolds]

Love pickling jalapenoes!

 

[HGO]

What's your pickling recipe mate
I like to use apple cider vinegar and a bit of fresh dill if I have any

 

[frankreynolds]

Honestly i just grab a basic one off the internet, can't remember now it's been a while. but there was some pepper, dill, bay leaf.

tell us more I never heard of pickled chillies ..and just as my Reapers are germing too, in this mid fall

 

[Tunkers]

A client gave me some chillis from their plants last year. Kept the seeds and planted this year. First time growing them. Seems like every single seed sprouted haha

Not sure of the varieties. One is your thinner Asian style chilli and the other is more like your habanero.

25 x Birdseyes that have taken FOREVER to get going from seed.

I'll be up-potting these & chucking them outside to free-up ID tent-space in the next couple of days.

We're turning red.






An in-betweeny shot from Jan 12th


And an out of handy shot today

 

[Rabbitlicker]

The 25 Birds eyes I started ID have now been out in the sunshine for a couple of months, along with a single Habanero (back-right). All hydro in coco/perlite, hand-watered from the IBC in the background.


The ones in the foreground were topped & the ones behind were left to their own devices.

The ones un-topped have started producing flowers & fruit & the topped ones are struggling to keep up. The Jury is currently out whether topping chilli plants is actually a good practice or not.

There's one gnarly fruit on one of the un-topped plants, which could be a cross-pollination from the Habanero, so I'll keep an eye on it & see how it goes.

The Habanero itself is producing quite nicely so far:


Erm... Yeah, Bubba Kush & Wonder Woman mother plants have been put out to pasture & are right up the back..

I'm now thinking to start some Super-Hot's whilst the temperatures are good for germination & keep them going inside over winter, take clones & get them ready for a bumper harvest next year.

They look great. Wish I could grow them in pots but everytime I try they just go to shit, same with capsicums

Yeah, they're finicky plants. I was only able to get ONE Habanero out of dozens of seeds that I started.

The Super-Hots are notorious for being difficult, which is why I'm planning to get things going now & see if I can keep them going ID until next spring.

Fuck yeah loved my chilli's was into growing birds eye and jalapeno and pickling them didn't mind try hotter ones too but 3 weeks was diagnosed with bowel disease but lucky I can eat hot sauces still just not any seeds from chilli's

 

[DosFish]

I love jalapeno bottle caps as a beer snack.
I had them the first time at a California beach front pub.

Slice sideways like little bottle caps and then dip in flour batter and fry in hot oil on the pan.
Serve with a dipping sauce (mayonnaise base). Crispy little chili bites, so good.
You can take the seeds out after slicing to reduce heat a bit if needed.
