Check out how small they are too. Hubby had to laugh when he saw them. I'm not sure what I will make with them yet. Possibly a second trial run on a hot pepper jelly.
I got three cayenne peppers too. Those went in the salsa I recently canned. I think we got one very small green pepper and some super chili peppers.
I'm praying that next year's investments will be producing more bounty overall.
Only in our house.....will you watch the sunrise, sip coffee, and chat with your kids about what bat and rat poop looks like.
We have a rat and a bat living in the upper loft of our goat/chicken barn and rat traps are being set. However, my 16 year-old was attacked early morning by a bat, while tending to her goats. She laughed, and said she used her goat's mineral feeder to cover her head and run. Bats are great, but not when then they take over the barn. I am thinking we really do need to build a bat house.

I'm surprised the bat swooped down on your daughter this morning. Aren't they supposed to be nocturnal? The only time we see them around here is at dusk when they come out for their hunting of insects.
When stringing (I just use a long sewing needle and some quilting thread), be sure to leave about a finger width of space between each one for air circulation, or where they touch, they may rot instead of dry. I put a little knot in the thread between each one as I'm adding them to keep them spaced cause they shrink a little as they dry, and then will move towards each other without the knot there.
Before pulverizing, you can either leave the seeds in for more heat, or you can remove them. I always remove them so we get the pure flavor and heat of the pepper itself.
And personally, I mix all the pepper dust together. We call it "Devil Dust" because it's so hot but it's very tasty too. LOL
God bless.
