hot pepper recipes?

[bobberineyes]

Great idea's guy's!! I'm going to try all of them, since I don't own  a dehydrator I'll be cold smoking later. This is just a sample run, habenaro,  a couple of sweet peppers,  jalapeño, Serrano  and some green Asians that aren't quite ready yet. Turned out an ugly green but smells hot as he!!.

[delcecchi]

Hot is easy.  How is the flavor? 

[bobberineyes]

Great question  del. After trying it I ended up grabbing 4 sweet banana peppers from the garden and adding a little sugar with just a smidg of apple cider vinegar for sweetness.  Not bad for my first Crack at it..hot but sweet.

Slice jalepeno almost in half length way, clean out seeds, fill with crunchy peanut butter only, wrap in bacon and smoke till bacon is edibile.  i think it took around 2 hrs.  very tasty

[bobberineyes]

Had to move the grill in the sun but it's running 125 with the tube. Way too many peppers in the fridge, thought I would try a small Bach. I'll let it go til dark then put em back on tomorrow.  Shooting to crumble for seasoning, any thoughts?

I'm all with you until the Peanut Butter part?

Looks like you have the makings for some great spices at this rate.

dried smoked Jalepenos are called Chipotle.

Sorry about the double lines.  I fixed it in the edit and added a picture.  I'm not sure how that happened.  (how that happened...)

[blue_healer_guy]

leech, it does sound like an odd concocktion.  but you gotta try it.  225 for 2 hrs, helps if u use thin bacon.

Man, I can see cream cheese but peanut butter? I may have to give it a go sometime, maybe the bacon will off set the oddness?

Perhaps you are associating peanut butter with sweet things, like cookies or peanut butter cups.   But peanuts aren't sweet and can work in savory things as well.   Asian food seems to do that with peanuts a lot, just as an example.   African food also.

Peppers are back in the cold smoke. Breaking out the gas smoker later for jerky, not having a dehydrator think I'll put the peppers in the smoker and dry them out that way at around 130 or 140 degrees after the jerky is done. Not sure if it'll work but WTH. 

[Jim Almquist]

Jerky in the smoker is the best. I like to use my Brinkman charcoal smoker with some hickory chunks. No more than a coffee can of charcoal to keep the heat down. Also needed to rotate the racks after 1 hour.

Looks good! Nesco dehydrators are pretty cheap and work well for many years. Once you start eating the smoked ones you'll prefer to eat them that way from that point on. I have 8 jars of just dehydrated peppers previous to when I started smoking them that I am going to try and smoke. I picked up some 1/4" hardware cloth to put on my grills. I plan to cold smoke with hickory then back in the jars. I have many friends requesting if they can get some more of the smokey goodness. I've only smoked two batches from the garden so far from 65 plants. How did the ones smoked cut in half turn out? I've only done whole ones.

[bobberineyes]

I cut em in half hoping they would dry out faster, I ended up crisscrossing two grates in the smoker so the smaller ones wouldn't fall through.  They sure took a long time to dry, lowest I could get the temp was 150 and it still took 7 hrs. I tried a jalapeño last night, it was awesome, smokey and hot. Heading to fleet Farm soon, might havta look at a dehydrator.

Looks very tasty. That would make a great extra kick for some homemade chili !!

After smoking I started cutting them in half to reduce the dehydrator time. Sometimes it took a two to three days to dry the whole ones if I had a large load drying. 

I like to start cold smoking at around 5 to 6pm and load up a tray full of pellets to smoke till 5 to 6am. Then slice and into the dehydrator in the garage till they are done. Usually serranos and habaneros are done in the evening and jalapenos and bells  the next morning. They need to crunch when squeezed, I love that smell!!   Go Vikes!

I pickle a lot of my peppers from the garden

I also smoke about half of them too

I like to dehydrate jalapenos and put them in a blender and make powder out of them.

The rest I dice and use to put in deer sticks when the time comes.

MMMMMM peppers

  

Sad the peppers are gone for me though these are the last of my yield... I may have a few more dragon cayenne yet to pick but its about done for my garden.  

[bobberineyes]

Great idea on the sticks!!

It really depends on your heat preference. What kind of peppers do you like?

[smurfy]

well so far the only peppers i've grown are regular bell peppers and jalepenos, i have grown hungarian hot wax in the past.

i'd just like to try making a batch like the crushed peppers seasoning you get in the stores. i like spicy, not that spicy ya need the fire dept though!!!

 

[delcecchi]

I think the classic is cayenne pepper.   If you want to try other peppers, Walmart has a good selection in the produce and hispanic sections.

And they are already dried.
