I live in New Mexico and about an hour from Hatch we grow and roast chile and even to to Hatch to get more if we need to. I have grown up on this chile and it is the best chile around. it is best if you leave the skin on after roasting and the seeds in the chile because when you freeze it you will not get freezer burn and the chile seeds add more flavor the chile. you can take the seeds out after you defrost it.

But they really really don't add heat and you can get almost all on first cleaning.<br /><br />And definitely, the fire roasted is THE way to go if you can. as you said though, just a bit time consuming but definitely worth it. :-)1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-48707781876591663912012-08-27T23:30:19.357-05:002012-08-27T23:30:19.357-05:00I love hatchapalooza season. :) Right up there wit...I love hatchapalooza season. :) Right up there with fire roasted corn on the cob smathered with butter and chili.The Stay @ Home-Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102175625149771801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-2181982869108818472012-08-17T15:53:25.078-05:002012-08-17T15:53:25.078-05:00You really don't want to wash the peeled roast...You really don't want to wash the peeled roasted peppers. I have read and heard that will wash some of you roasted flavors off.<br /><br />I like the way you roasted them. I usually do a bunch on the BBQ, but that is more time consuming, however, very good roasted flavor.<br /><br />Diane Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-39483209042462938642012-08-16T21:34:11.257-05:002012-08-16T21:34:11.257-05:00Well, first of all, THANK YOU!

Please don't be a stranger.<br /><br />As for the compost, wow, that's a great idea!! I never realized that. I have an area I'm slowly getting ready for some gardening next Spring and this might be a great time to get that ground working. Thank you for the suggestion!!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-91776812331983634302012-08-16T21:27:04.641-05:002012-08-16T21:27:04.641-05:00I don't know how they'll grow in these par...I don't know how they'll grow in these parts. I think there is something 'special' about where they grow in Hatch New Mexico that makes them unique. Yes, we ended up with a couple dozen bags in the freezer. <br /><br />I SO want a dehydrator. Do you have one you recommend? I always get this booklet on something called Excalibur. But then I see them at WalMart and places like that for waaaay cheaper.<br /><br />Any thoughts?1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-8802663960117979382012-08-15T05:55:32.355-05:002012-08-15T05:55:32.355-05:00I'm a regular reader of your blog (congratulat...I'm a regular reader of your blog (congratulations, it's great!) but I haven't commented, before.<br /><br />I just wanted to say, you don't have to have a 'formal' compost pile set up to deal with your kitchen waste while at the farm. Just dig a small hole somewhere and bury it (maybe in the general vicinity of where you might start a veggie patch in the future or close to a favourite plant?) and let the worms deal with it. It can only add to the quality of your soil and it won't attract vermin. <br />Ninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-15090104903194405712012-08-14T17:02:19.868-05:002012-08-14T17:02:19.868-05:00I have not grown those!

We love peppers of any kind will have to put them on the list! <br />Looks like you did a great job putting them up too!<br /><br />I have the dehydrator going right now with peppers and celery. I dry a ton of peppers every year for cooking with. You might try that with these peppers too at some point :O). <br /><br />Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560812716080117867noreply@blogger.com
