Chilliist

Cross breeding chilli. Looking for interesting new varieties rather than nuclear heat.

@gardenjoan How hardy is this plant?

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@seauxsoxford I don't, I've read about adding xanthan gum, but never tried. I just give it a shake when needed!

[Chilliist @chilliist]

Tabasco drained off, on to the powder!

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@NDchillies @KellyWoodroffe It makes very good powder too!

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@KellyWoodroffe @NDchillies When the fermentation is done, I drain the paste to make a Tabasco style sauce, and dry what's left to make powder!

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@KellyWoodroffe @NDchillies I put all the chillies in the blender, together with ~6% salt, until they're a smooth paste. Then I add a spoonful of sauerkraut brine if I have, just to get it started. That's not necessary though. Once the fermentation starts I keep the jars in the fridge.

@NDchillies @KellyWoodroffe Mine is done today, took about four weeks. It's nice to have one going to check in on!

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@KellyWoodroffe @NDchillies I often start the fermentation with too much salt, then I have to put more chillies in until the fermentation starts. I find it good because you get less of the "mold" (that is not mold btw), it's safer and you don't need to bin any chillies 🙂

@KHelgedahl Thank you very much, it does seem rather productive!

[Chilliist @chilliist]

I'm making a Tabasco style sauce with Blue Goat. Shall I use red or white vinegar, anyone?

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@KHelgedahl And just bring it to a boil very quickly? Before or after I add the vinegar?

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@Hagukh Very cool!

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@ChilliFowler @HeWhoCaresNot Fantastic! Different shape, I kind of like the curly ones more 🙂

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@newlandsplants Do you use them at this stage or do you wait until they ripen to red?

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@KHelgedahl I've tried it before and it works well! Careful not to get pasteurised Sauerkraut though, most of them are, actually!

[Chilliist @chilliist]

The cat is helping with the hot sauce this evening! We're kicking off the fermentation with a spoonful of sauerkraut! #spicy #cooking

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@Hagukh Wow, really cool! Any chance of a picture of the inside as well?

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@CoalfireChicago What's in the jar? 🙂

[Chilliist @chilliist]

@Hagukh Beautiful!
What colour does the Scotch Bonnet Olive ripen to? Please tell more about both! What are the parents etc?

[Chilliist @chilliist]

Different stages of the ripening of the Blue Goat #chilli #peppers
