  1. Dry them into a pepper powder.

    Ferment them with some onion and orange or mango and make hot sauce.

    Add to some salsa.

    Those sizes work great for some chili vinegar, just put them in a jar and cover with any vinegar you like. A very popular condiment in the southern united states. They will also last a really long time that way.

    Dry them up and crush them in to a powder

    Smoke them dry, then grind.

    Slice them,
    salt them overnight, drain,
    soak in vinegar overnight, drain,
    then fill with olive oil and store in the refrigerator for a few months. Great pickled topping/garnish for burgers, Asian dishes, etc….

    If you cook often:
    slice them,
    cover in sugar (like a lot),
    then let sit. I think it helps preserve the peppers and can be added to sauces, jams/jellies, etc. one teaspoon at a time.

    I dehydrated mine, but they are so hot you got to cut it with dehydrated onions and garlic! You can use a toaster oven to dehydrate

    Make a nice hot sauce with them, you can cut them with sweet chillies or other ingredients like fruits to make the hot sauce fit your spice tolerance.

    The more spicy the fresh chillies are for you , the more hot sauce you can make with the same amount of hot chillies that fits your spice tolerance.

    A good template recipe for hot sauces that you can change to fit the flavor you like:

    Hot chillies, salt, msg

    Sweet ingredients(like sweet chillies, fruits and/or sugar/honey)

    Acidic ingredients( lemon juice, vinegar, citric acid, etc.)

    Spices( ginger, garlic , black pepper, etc)

    Chop and mix all of the fresh ingredients, fry them off , add liquids and spices and blend, cook again and blend till smooth(optional)

    You can do so much with the chillies like ferment them or smoke them to add flavor

    Balance out all of the ingredients till you get the flavor and spice level you like.

    Enjoy!

    Make some hot pepper jelly. Amazing with goat/cream cheese and crackers.

  9. These aren’t my favorite peppers, they’re a bit acidic for my taste. The green is the most acidic and the reds are the sweetest.

    I like to make a variety of chicken (BBQ, honey ginger, Italian garlic, etc) and slice or chop these up into the sauce. One pepper will add a little kick without being overwhelming.

  10. You don’t have to do the same thing with all of them. Dry some, pickle some, make some salsa. Experiment.

    Dry them and then grind into a powder. For a milder product remove the seeds before grinding . I grow 7 varieties of chillies and aside from jalapeño which I just pickle I dry the rest to either give as gifts or use in my own recipes

    The next day you body has a higher tolerance. Eat one again ..and each day a higher tolerance. After a week or 3, anything you eat without a chilli will seem meh.

    I personally don’t use these for sauce. I usually cut the stems of 15 to 20 pods and put them in a bottle of oil (700 ml) for around 2 weeks before using the oil. Then dry the rest and turn them to power or flakes, keeping the seeds will add more heat so it depends on your taste.
