Ken's Hot Peppa Concentrate 23 Jars 1 and 2
(Update A to Update 12 - 91723 1223 - see below)
OK, I think there is actually going to be one more update. As I indicated I intended to do, the images below reflect the recipe for “Ken’s Hot Peppa Concentrate” and also show the first ghost pepper of the 23 season picked and tasted.
The ghosts are coming in in earnest and here is one of the plants and now I’m thinking there may actually be three ghost pepper plants distinct.
Here is another image of the ghosts and there one on the bottom not curled up was the one I picked today.
Here is the ghost I picked.
Here is the same pepper after I ate its tip - tasty oh so tasty.
Here is some stuff that was picked out of the garden this morning - hells-bells there was more zucchini out there still waiting to be picked - we had some last week fried and it was good.
Here are the ingredients (excepting some lime juice and some sugar in at least one of the jars I recall) for the hot peppa concentrate - not all of the tomatoes were used and you see the ghost pepper there don’t you - I took this picture just before I took a bit off its tip - hmmm - did I say tasty? Plus, there is but one Tabasco pepper that had ripened and it is in the mix but probably not shown in this image and after I took my second bit of the ghost pepper tip (hmm, hmm good!) I tasted the tip of the Tobasco as well and that was when I entered just the doorway of pepper bliss heat in the body! There are bukoos (lots) of green Tobascos and ghosts out there waiting to ripen and they will be in the 2nd concentrate batch in few week I reckon.
Here is the final product - Jar 1 and Jar 2 distinct - one has more sugar than the other and they both have a different pepper combination. I think I will “burp” these jars in a week or so just in case and I might vacuum seal them after than but I’m still stewing on it cause I don’t think this concentrate will ever go bad…..it is of value.

Holy Moly - heat in the air when I cut these peppers I bartered for for the sake of saving seeds - I took a little bite of one of them - that white one scorpion I think - holy moly - peppa heat baby!
I wore rubber gloves of course, but I must of touched my left forearm with one of em I reckon cause my forearm now has a most pleasant warm sensation. Peppas are good for the body!
and lastly for this edit on 91723 it is now 1235, let me leave you with the bonus image showing what I did with the peppers I cut the seeds out of…..this stuff is in apple cider solution with a bit of salt and sugar and I’m guessing it is of high value.
One more update - one more….
Not all peppers are hot just like not all good ideas catch on quick, but eventually a good idea always prevails cause there is no keeping a good idea down.
HEY - lets bring this post to a close shall we - what better way is there to do that than to post cabinet doors job finished on the top level for the cabinet doors been removed, unscrewed, washed, sanded, painted, sanded again, painted again, coated, washed and loved till the job was done on that part of the job for cabinet doors coming back to life!
The image above reflect work done with love and I suspect if you think you see a dot on one of those cabinet doors that more than likely tis a speck of dust on your monitor.

Happy Gardening folks - let me leave you with this:
2023 is the Year of Determination in my Mind

So in this update I discussed the peppers I'm trying to utilize....I've done my best not to waste anything and frankly cause the french need all the help they can get just now, the time for folks to start thinking for themselves and tending to their own sustainability is at hand and the harmful elitist are nothing but a wisp in the wind as we struggle to find our bearings and figure out the best way to work together. I think it is going to happen - I don't think it is pre-destined cause calvinist ideology is offensive, but I do think it is most likely that folks are going to figure out a way to work together and I hope it happens and I want to be in the thick of it.
Looks sooo good and the colors!
