Pepper Vodka and Hot Pepper Tidbits


© Joe Arditi

Greetings to all Chileheads, gardeners and new subscribers. The chilly weather is here in the mid-atlantic and in spite of several frost warnings all peppers are still standing. Not bad for November. I have moved several plants in containers indoors on the nights with the warnings. I'm waiting for the peppers to fully ripen for the last round of seed saving. The one plant that I'm amazed with is the "Pueblo Pepper". It is STILL setting flowers. As I've mentioned before peppers are not good indoor plants but they overwinter fine to get a jump on the following seasons production. However I'm now wondering if the Pueblo may be an exception. I've never brought them indoors before but I will this winter and see if they continue to produce peppers. More on the Pueblo in the "Pepper Pick". I've received several letters in asking about making a good hot sauce. Everyone seems to be freezing, drying and preserving lately.

Featured Pepper Pick ==================== "Pueblo Pepper" The pueblo is one of 4 Hot Peppers that we listed in our first catalog 10 years ago. Catalog is a strong choice of words..more like a tiny pamphlet. It is still a customer favorite today and extremely dependable. The peppers grow 3" peppers grow skyward in clumps of 6 to 15 peppers in each clump. The plant has more red from the peppers than green from the leaves. It is as beautiful as any flower arrangement. The Pueblo is medium hot and excellent for drying whole, seeds and all. I have mine tied up by needle and thread hanging in a sunny window.
