Wrennie, Hot sauce would use a few, but very many would make lots of sauce. I dry mine, either in the smoker on very low heat. Can also be done in the oven. Or they can be dried in the sun. Now I am talking red ripe Chiles. After they are dried or smoked. I dry and smoke mine. Grind them and use them to cook with or put in a shaker for table use. You can also make pepper flakes by chopping them in a food processor. I do that also. I like pepper flakes in my sausage when I make it. CF

Can I freeze 'em somehow? ? jelp! We freeze ours. Cut them in half & remove membrane & seeds & freeze. We dont dehydrate them they are too meaty. Hot sauce..make your sauce & dice them & that should work. De-seeded of course. We make poppers out of them. Here is what we do.. Cut in half. De-seed & remove membrane. Mix cream cheese softened & add shredded cheddar cheese,blue cheese,fried diced bacon. Spoon cheese mixture into popper halves & dip in egg/milk wash. Make Ritz cracker crumbs with seasonings of your liking. Roll poppers in crumbs..Bake in a 375° oven for 45 min. or until golden brown. ENJOY!! We are in over load of Jalepenos.. |

JALAPENO MACARONI SALAD 12 oz. medium size macaroni shells or elbows, cooked and drained Fresh green onions --I use about 3 or 4 I also add a little sweet white onion to this, 4 jalapeno peppers (deseeded) and diced fine I use more because we like ours hot to the taste salt and pepper to taste garlic powder to taste (just a dash ) 1 pint Real Mayonnaise--make it good and moist Dice onions fine (I cut mine with the scissors) or chop onions and peppers till fine in a food processor. You want these in small pieces, not liquid. Mix all together and chill overnight. So good !
