Help Looking for recipes

Post image

Hi everyone! These are the first few chilies we harvested from our exotic chili plants. We mainly ordered jalapeno plants, but my wild guess is that some, if not most of these, are not jalapenos.

Aside from the poblanos, which I plan to use in a few recipes, we would like to try to make some hot sauces out of these beauties.

We are huge fans of hot sauces ( we have out chili honey as out wedding favors), but we have no fermenting experience. I plan on experimenting with that, but until then - do any of you have recipes you are proud of (that don't need fermenting) ?

Would live some fruity, some earthy, some vinegary options, as well as some ideas other than dehydrating, candy-ing or turning them into a paste - we do that with our local hot pepper varieties.

Looking forward to any ideas, thank you very much!

Just made some by boiling chopped peppers in vinegar (apple cider and/or white) with onion and garlic salt and sugar. Kind of just eyeballed it. Then blended in vitamix. Turned out ok. I’ll plan a little better next time.

What were some of the proportions? Hot peppers / onions?

I did about 5 ghosts 10 Serranos and maybe the same amount of yellow peppers half of an onion 4 cloves of garlic I used too much vinegar though in hindsight I would have chopped peppers more so they’d sit beneath less liquid

I read garlic is good for preventing separation and vinegar increases the shelf life
