More Pepper Stuff

G'day everyone!

I've finally used up all the peppers my friend

gave me.  

I did a bit of research on the internet and

talked to my son about infusing oil with the peppers.

I tried out 2 different methods.

This is the first one.

It's the cold infusion method.

I simply put some of the dried peppers into a jar

and filled it with oil.

Now I will let it sit for a couple weeks before I give it

a try.

I put the Pablanos into my little food chopper and chopped

them up.  I don't think this was the best way to do it.

I got some bigger chunks and some of it was totally

pulverized into powder. 

I did use some of this in my oil for the 2nd method,

the hot infusion method.

And these are what I had left of the dried peppers.

I put them into a pot with oil, heated it for a bit and let

them steep.

I put some of the peppers into each bottle and 

filled them with the oil.

Most of the sites said I could strain all the pepper out

of the oil, or leave it in.  I decided to add a pepper or two 

to each bottle with the oil.

I'm not sure about the oil yet,

I tasted it and it didn't seem to have much heat to it,

I'll see when I use it to cook.

I'm afraid that I scorched the peppers, so don't

know what this will taste like when I go to use it.

We shall see.

Don't know if I'll be giving this to anyone as gifts,

but I will be giving some of that 

Hot Mama's Hot Hot Sauce!

This is what I got from all those peppers,

as well as some chopped and frozen.

I really enjoyed trying something new and different.

Now I've got the bug and want to find something else 

to can.

Thanks for checking in today.

I hope you'll come again soon,

until then,

try something new,

look it up on the internet,

ask your friends and family,

and plunge in!
