What did everyone cook today?
-
johnsbrewhouse I went and got chicken thighs to try with the Chicken on the Run. Think I’ll try baking them.
Well, the cold weather is finally coming here. Having to harvest all of our peppers & preserve them. We usually smoke & dry them, so that is what we have done here. Also harvesting all the lemons so made a ton of fresh juice to freeze into ice cubes, but may consider processing some in pint jars as well

calldoctoday Looks like a lot of flavor coming up!

Decided to do an Apple Bourbon Brined pork loin then smoke it in Apple Wood. Figured those would be some good flavors for this cold weather finally reaching us.
Of course I had to add a little spice & garlic to kick it up a notch or two. -

glen Thank you. It will be great when we grind it up for some of that chili coming up next. Looks like I will be doing a whole lot of grinding in the next few days.

That looks like a great meal I like that you used apple all the waygus4416 Thank you. It was really tasty & worked well. I am open to any other flavors too, but thought that would be really good for this weather.

bocephus Thank you. We have lots of them this year, tons & it will probably last all year & then some usually. I just about don’t even need to grow them every year, but we like them a lot. The flavor from the homegrown & ground peppers seems so much better than store bought & the smokiness really adds a nice touch to them.

calldoctoday those peppers look amazing do you grind them up to store for sausage or how do you keep them
gus4416 Thank you. We grind them up until we fill about a quart mason jar of each type. Then we just put the rest that remain in mason jars with one of those desiccant crystal things in the jar to store until we need to grind more. We use it to flavor all sorts of things because we like the flavor of peppers & they are good for you too. We also freeze lots of fresh ones of each type for using in situations where more of a fresh flavor is desired. We usually do about 11-12 plants & they really produce more than a years worth plus a whole Summer & Fall’s worth of genuine fresh.
