My habanero plant is doing really well! I don't know what to do with these peppers. The only things I make with habaneros are salsa and chili. I have too many habaneros though...what else can I make?This plant has been producing peppers since December 2006 with just one short barron period of about two weeks. This is a great plant to experiment with (at least in S. Florida where I am). I have it hooked up to the drip irrigation system, so it gets regular water right at the crown and it's never had any bugs. Well, the leaves get bugs, but who cares. Nothing dares to eat the pepper itself.
Notice how well the green beans are doing. I have no idea what their deal is. They were doing fine for a month; now they are quite dead.
What a fantastic crop you've had. Have you ever made actual sauce with them. This is one of many variations.
ReplyDelete12 habanero peppers, stems removed, finley chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup distilled vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
Saute the onion and garlic in oil until soft; add the carrots with a small amount of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until carrots are soft. Place the mixture and raw chiles into a blender and puree until smooth. Don't cook the peppers, since cooking reduces flavor of the Habaneros. Combine the puree with vinegar and lime juice, then simmer for 5 minutes and seal in sterilized bottles.
VERY HOT!
Ruth - what an excellent idea. I'm going to make it now!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this post. My husband loved growing habaneros but we had no idea what to do with them. Finally it we found it was the most entertaining to offer money to any houseguests who would eat one. Hours of fun!
ReplyDeleteHabanero or Jalepeno jelly, to spread on toast or cracker, have it with cheese, or put it on a hoagie. It's delish!
ReplyDeleteHey Dani,
ReplyDeleteHabaneros are cancer killers, and have lots of other medical benefits due to the Capaicin that makes them hot. I actually ate a fresh grated one (scotch bonnet)tonight with a fresh grated garlic clove on buttered Ezekiel bread. I did this after reading about a guy that cured stage IV cancer by eating this strange combo for 2 weeks along with taking cod liver oil daily.
I read about that dr who cured his "stage 4" cancer w/the habeneros and garlic and butter but his were SKIN cancers. He never mentions INTERNAL cancer so what is the true story??
ReplyDeleteDr. Schulze studied under several great herbalists, one of them being Dr. John Christopher. He says that hot peppers (the hotter the better) can stop heartattacks, strokes, and even hemorrhaging.
ReplyDeleteDr. Schulze also recommends taking other herbs with hot peppers because they are second to none in increasing blood circulation, and they carry the nutrients throughout the body. Sam Biser wrote a book titled, "Curing With Cayenne", that details the work of Dr. Schulze. You may still be able to download it on the web.
There are other cancer alternatives too. Look up the research discoveries of Albert Roy Davis using magnetism, and Dr. Lee Ritter using aloe vera.
Hi, You can freeze the habanero peppers after washing and drying. I did that and they stay fresh.
ReplyDeleteHabeneros are EXCELLENT in sauce and jellies but we pickle them all of the time.
ReplyDeleteFill a quart jar w/ peppers and those baby carrots. fill it 1/2 and 1/2 w/ apple cider vinegar and distilled water. add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring the jar up to boiling in a water bath for about 5 minutes. Let it cool off and you have pickled Habanero Peppers. They will last as long as the lids on the jars will. Oh, you can also add prepared garlis too if you like it.
This process takes some of the heat out of the peppers but still retains the delicious flavor.
I think he was trying to sell his book by saying it "cured his stage 4 cancer" when it was skin cancer. Is he alive?
ReplyDeleteStage 4 skin cancer is melanoma--it has spread to distant organs--to which organs did his spread or does he not tell us?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm the creator of the recipe that cured my Stage 4 cancer. Although I had numerous external lesions on my skin, two doctors told me it was testicular cancer.
I used habaneros and garlic along with an oil. The particular oil one needs is based on one's metabolism.
Google my name if you want to find out more.
The best to you.
