More Chilli News

I posted in one of the Good Morning threads about my chilli plant and its crop. It was planted too late in the season really but it is still producing chillies. These were my first crop:


I dried them after removing the seeds and produced a small amount of very hot chilli powder.

As well as a good number of seeds for next spring

Today I picked a few more but I would be surprised if any more ripen.

After drying these will be ground up too.

Delicious!
They don’t have to ripen, used green their just not as fiery, sometimes that can be useful.

Another trick, to get them even hotter, is to hold back on watering the chili plants for a few days before harvesting. It concentrates the chili-ness in the fruits.
