Pulled out a couple quart and gallon bags of chili pequins I been picking. Got the pits running. Decided to make a batch of seasoning. Simple process, smoke slow, let dry out, grind and put em in a shaker. Use in any application. WARNING they are **** hot, but they are good. Will update with final product in a couple days.

Chili Pequin Smoked Seasoning
Love those things but my little plant didn’t produce much this year. Love drying and grinding them. Goes great on pizza in place of crushed red pepper.

Green is hotter then red. I pick bags and freeze them, until I get a large supply. I also smoke em fresh, allow the smoke to do the drying process. I will pick some red for some sweeter heat, but generally stay with the green (which is the bulk). I leave the reds on the vine, as they get the attention from local birds. The birds will naturally transplant, this is how I got 5 plants growing. I will also spray with water, then sprinkle with a little sea salt and garlic to enhance the flavor as it will dry as well.

I have a bunch of Carolina Reapers, some Scorpion peppers and a few ghost peppers in bags. Some have been dehydrated and some are in the freezer, I have been looking for recipes to make something palatable out of them. They are way too hot to just use straight. Probably would make good salsa or something, use about 1/10 the amount of other peppers. I need to get some pequin plants next spring, I like those.

They thrive in heat. I transplanted and put one in a large planter and moved to the west side, solid sun. Remember to put some mulch around the base during winter. It will be ok. Mine produced late this year. But are now putting the chili’s out. Since it is late, I would transplant next March. Your call. Good to have native peppers at the back door.
