county extension class - peppers

 Another good and interesting  class from the horticulture department of the county extension office.

Growing peppers and making hot sauce.


Lots of good information and some recipes for hot sauce. They even had a few types of homemade hot sauce prepared so we could taste them.

Then the fun part...we could grab a bottle for using for hot sauce and a bag and...


...choose from a huge selection of peppers to take home.


Each type of pepper had an information sheet to describe it and rating of heat level.


I tried to choose some mid-level hot peppers...more for taste than for scorching heat.



So colorful!


I knew what I wanted to do with these peppers rather than make hot sauce.
I wanted to give them to The Sasquatch so he could make a delicious pepper relish recipe he's made in the past.

It was a wise decision!



His recipe calls for bell peppers as a base. I really liked this batch but he said he would have liked it better if it was hotter.


Besides eating it with cream cheese on a cracker, it's  a good topping for cooked chicken breasts.

There is some sugar in the recipe so not something I should have all the time.
