Today I am canning 6 pint jars of salsa and 4 half pints of pickled jalapenos. This uses up most of my jalapenos, all of my bell peppers, some anaheims and some cayennes.

Only a million billion more cayennes to go!

I'll bet thats why you can always find powdered cayenne...they go crazy

Have you tried dehydrating them and then grinding them up into a powder? I mix mine with other types of peppers and it makes a fabulous hot sprinkle for just about everything!

I'm thinking that's what's going to happen to most of them, and they will replace my regular purchases of crushed red peppers, etc.

Beautiful,,,,,,,
How long have you had this one???
My mom kept one for about 3 years. (indoors of course)..
I usually take mine outdoors in the late Spring and plant in the ground. They expire when frost arrives. The following year, I do same with the Christmas Poinsettias again.

We used to plant them outdoors in FL. They grow there quite well.

In order for them to be red, I understand that they need to be in darkness for some time. My moms never did turn red once she kept it after Christmas.

Nice job. I did some more peppers myself banana peppers and jalapeños. I think salsa would be nice but usually don’t have enough tomatoes. Definately will need to plant more next year. Few plants never enough. I have about 6 jars of jalapeños canned at any given point despite eating them and gifting some.

I may have to start doing this myself. I have dried a bunch of hot chili peppers for making skyline chili. I put some in mixed pickles and now may try making into flakes or a powder.

May have to invest in a little dehydrator I came up with the very first natural dehydrated dog Food... back in like 1993 when I sold it like 30 years later they killed it making it a kibble but have jalapenos in my coat pocket need to get them out
