Gardeners, what do you do with

jalepenos? I have so many and I only planted one. Can you store them somehow?

Re: Gardeners, what do you do with

  • jalapeno jelly! So good and fairly easy to make. Serve it with cream cheese and crackers.

  • Sounds great Jenn, thanks

  • I've been making a lot of mexican casseroles and stuffed peppers :)

    What about the baked jalapenos w/ cream cheese stuffed inside? Although that's more of an appetizer.

    I made jalapeno cheddar hummus last week and some pico de gallo. We have two tiny plants but they are really shooting out some peppers haha.

  • Rub with olive oil and roast them on the grill.

    Then lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze.

    Once frozen, you can re-store them in a baggie all together.

    Take out as needed for recipes throughout the year.

    The skin falls right off once defrosted.

  • I would think you could freeze them, just like any other pepper.

    I usually try to buy red peppers in bulk when they're on sale, then I slice them up, take out all the seeds, put into a freezer bag and freeze. Then I take out pieces as we need them for recipes throughout the following months.

  • Renee, I've had the cream cheese poppers wrapped with bacon. They're so good, but not much of a meal, and too fattening to justify making it for just H and me. I'll probably take Katie and Heather's idea of freezing them and take some to make jelly, that sounded new and interesting to me. The only time I use jalepenos is for salsa and chili, so I wasn't ready to get so many off my one plant.
  • i use ours for salsa, but also freeze a bunch

  • roast them then freeze

    either on the grill or in the oven/broiler. Poke each for steam to escape. Put on grill turn till bubbly. Put into paper bag to steam. Pull skin off slice and freeze in bags.

    or make poppers!!! mmm could go for some right now on this rainy day.

  • I agree with the pepper jelly, but they're also good pickled & canned.  We eat them on salads or taco stuff all year.  Yum!
