Storing chillies
I've just picked the last of the chillies from the greenhouse. I've got a
good haul of Jalapenos and Rainbows. I'm going to dry some of the Rainbows and freeze some along with some of the Jalapenos. I'd like to pickle the rest of the Jalapenos - is there any special technique? |

The two methods I tend to use are drying and Hell Fire Sauce (chilli sherry), but the latter is more suited to hot chillis rather than Jalapenos. I would be surprised if they needed any special technique, so any combination of brine and vinegar (according to taste) would do. E.g. Modify a recipe for pickled radish pods :-) I don't know anything about Rainbow chillis - are they hot, or salad ones like Jalapenos? Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

The Rainbows are small (about 1 inch long) and very fiery. They are multicoloured at first, then go red. The Jalapenos are nothing like the bland things you can buy in Mexican Restaurants or in jars in supermarkets, They look the same but are hot enough to make you blow steam! I use just two in my Tom Yam Goong and Thai red curries - any more would destroy the palette and spoil the dish. |

They do have the distinctive jalapeno flavour, which for me makes them preferable to other varieties that add fire but not flavour. |

The message
from Frogleg contains these words: Scotch Bonnet or habanero is a completely different critter than jalapeno. Habanero is a small, (1-1.5") sort of apple-shaped (or something like a mini-bell or sweet) pepper that ripens quickly from green through yellow and orange stages. It is usually sold in US markets in the orange phase. It is, if not the hottest, one of the most potent chiles in the world. Yes - I've got about seven pounds of those in my freezer. Should last me out. Wear rubber gloves and googles while preparing them....... A jalapeno is a 2-3" smooth, tapered green chile that ripens to a deep red. It is moderate on the Scoville scale of 'hotness' (amount of capsaicin). There are many semi-consistent versions of relative chile potency available with a search on "Scoville scale". Maybe. These, grown from seed taken out of commercially grown and supplied by the ton jalapinos, are not what I would like to encounter in a salad on a dark night. -- Rusty Hinge http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm Dark thoughts about the Wumpus concerto played with piano, iron bar and two sledge hammers.

These, grown from seed taken out of commercially grown and supplied by the ton jalapinos, are not what I would like to encounter in a salad on a dark night. It is true that nearly all Capsicums vary in hotness. Gardeners wrangle about whether this is due to strain, weather, soil, altitude, moisture, etc. The representations of Scoville scale give a wide range for most types. I.e. 1,000 to 1,500 for Anaheim (California) types; 2,500 to 5,000 for jalapenos; and 100,000 to 350,000 for habanero. I must say that canned chipotles (smoked jalapenos) seem to have considerably more zip than regular ol' green jalapanos I've grown or bought. In the chile area, YMMV is quite appropriate. :-) |
