Just a heads up. I came home from work one day and my family was on the porch red eyed and crying. We dried some cayenne's in the window but they were just not dry enough to crush. So my wife put them in the microwave.... AND pepper sprayed the house.

I harvested two of these peppers last night. I think they are cayenne peppers. I hope to have enough to make hot pepper sauce and/or add some to pickled vegetables I might make this fall.

Looking good! Where in Mo. Are you? My dad has peppers that aren't doing well he blames the rainfall, my uncle too and he's in Ashland. Tc

Up near the Iowa border. We have had a fairly dry summer, some ove the bigger rains went around us. We have had some decent rains in August that are greening up the vegetation.

I spent a lot of time hunting over east around Shelbina, and then west over around Chilicothe, love that part of Mo. I still have the family property over by Peidmont n southern Mo. Tc

Great looking peppers there! Should make some excellent sauce... What do you do for pickled vegetables?

I've never done it before but I'm going to try a natural pickle with local vegetables.

This is out of mine and xiaotuzi's garden.

These peppers were a semi surprise in the mail today from xiaotuzi . Pictured along with the rest of my tools and ingredients



I used this much Habanero in 1 cup'



This much Infinity 7-pot used.



Heating it up with my supper next to it.



I am going to let it soak overnight before taking a sample.

I pretty much followed this recipe. A little more pepper and soak time.

My prediction is very spicy! Those Infinity 7-pots are volcanic, you should sprinkle a little on the pasta there! Looking good, can't wait to hear about the taste test. Enjoy!
