re: what can i do with alot of peppers from garden

You've got a lot of options, and all summer to get it done. I do the following:

1. Fresh salsa (once your tomatoes start making, you should have a container in the fridge all summer).

2. Pepper sauce. It's just peppers, vinegar, water and whatever else you want to mix in.

3. Hot sauce. Plenty of recipes out there for fermented hot sauce. Takes some time, but worth it.

4. Pickles. Just like regular pickles. I make huge batches of hot pickles in a vinegar, sugar and turmeric mix. They are hot, and here's the kicker -- once they've set up for awhile, add them to store bought dill or bread and butter pickles for the folks who don't like super hot pickles. Great on a sandwhich.

5. BBQ sauce. I end up with a lot of extra hot peppers, so I can BBQ sauce.

6. Start giving them to friends.
