Hot Sauce

The garden didn't do well this year. I only harvested enough habs for a pint of ripe sauce (Yellow) and a pint of green pepper sauce. Fortunately, I have about a half gallon of sauce left from last year so I'm good till next season.

My wife made a very tasty chili con con carne (by the name at least, it was a vegetarian version) and we put one of the scotch bonnets into a large bowl of chili...

It was tasty, but hardly bearable hot the first day, and next to unbearably hot the next day after heating it up again. 😉

Regards,
Rundmaus
 
Funny how peppers work like that, isn't it Rundmaus! (Think you could call it "chile sin carne" 😀)

My own harvests this year (tomatoes, primarily) were pretty scarce. Unfortunately. None of it was saved, but did provide a number of delicious meals from roughly early-June to early-October.
