2 2009-10-13T23:44:01-04:00 false Today I harvested the first of the basement ripened chilis. I picked them almost-but-not-quite ripe to make the plants direct more energy to the green fruit. There were also a couple of green ones that got knocked off the other day when I was hanging the plants. I'm going to let them get a little redder, then roast them and add them to the hot sauce I made with my previously harvested peppers. It doesn't taste quite right yet, so I'm just going to hammer on it until I get it. Right now it's too weak. I don't taste anything when you eat it, then my mouth feels like you've eaten something mildly spicy. But there is never any real flavour. Hopefully adding these peppers roasted and cooking it down quite a bit will fix that. It also needs vinegar. If the flavour isn't right after that, I might try adding some garlic, but I'm fairly certain the hot sauce I'm trying to duplicate doesn't have garlic. 2 false 69592 false false false Entry 2009-10-13T00:00:00-04:00 DMY 84691 Public 2009-10-13T23:46:51-04:00 1237 Sunny 38 F
