Today I helped Andrea a bit in her attempt to deal with the many peppers that she's recently harvested. She strung up several and I hung them under the shed to dry. While doing that I brought in the remaining garlic, which now just needs the tops and roots trimmed off and to be put up for long term storage. We also began the processing of smoking some peppers using our new cold smoker. I'll be doing a detailed post about that soon. We are smoking Jalapeno, Habanero, and Serrano peppers. We hope to make some Chipotle powder from the smoked Jalapenos because my mom loves cooking with it. I'm not sure what we'll do with the others.
