We went to visit with some folks from our church today. It wasn't
the best day for it, since Tim and I are both exhausted from a long
night at a rabbit show. We didn't get home until the wee hours of this
morning. While I got more sleep than he did, I still feel ready to
drop.
Regardless, we went to eat lunch with the couple and the
lady, Diane, offered Tim a big, beautiful bowl of Jalapenos to take home
with him.
It seems that while she loves to grow them, she
doesn't care for the spicy jalapenos. Of course, her plants are
fruiting like crazy, while ours have only a single, pitiful jalapeno on
them. At least the one I thought was dead is finally beginning to
bloom! The rain we have had lately has everyone worried about small
harvests.
I'm trying to decide what exactly we will do with all
these jalapenos. Tim isn't a big fan of pickled jalapenos, but I may
try a jar again anyway. I know he'll eat some fresh or in various
dishes.
I definitely think I am going to try making a small batch of "Cowboy Candy"- aka Candied Jalapenos. I figure if they don't turn out well, at least we didn't spend a lot of money or use our entire crop of jalapenos on them. I also want to include a jar or two in some Christmas gifts!
