Before it froze, i picked out my peppers from the garden. I had quite a few Jalapenos. I decided to put up some home made chipotle.
I smoked 'em all day Saturday and then again on Sunday at low / increasing heat. Used Cherry and oak smoke with some Briq's to keep it going. Low fire with about 5 lit briq's and I'd set a split on it. Surprisingly, that produced quite a bit of heat in the iron maiden, and the neighborhood smelled fantastic all weekend long.
After Sunday I put 'em in the Excalibur.
Dried and ready for some grinder action.
Ground up and ready for action
First, the aroma is unbelievable, and the flavor is off the charts. So is the heat! I took a little bit from a spoon on my tongue and WHOAAAA! It got my head sweating...really sweating. and my tongue was on fire. most of those jalapenos sat in the garden on the plant all summer. I wonder if that is the difference?? That stuff has some serious concentrated heat. I'm going to look up Fish's jalapeno salt recipe and mix up som-a-dat!
