Well, I'm up to my ears in fingerling potatoes at the moment. Pumpkins have taken over the rest.

ETA: Oh, you want recipes...

I had some success with fermenting my hot peppers, it is over on the fermenting thread. I am going to experiment with sauces later, and maybe some super hot mustards. I found horseradish in the supermarket today, great huge hunks. Didn't buy any, but I will go back for it later, when I am ready to ferment it into horseradish sauce and horseradish mustard.

The Ball Blue book and Putting Food By both have lots of good recipes. I recommend getting a copy of PFB to anybody who cans, freezes, dehydrates or smokes any kind of food. It has info on root cellaring even.

mrs. puff i agree putting food by is the best canning\preserving book out there i think.
i am down with all those book kinda canning ideas
i guess i am looking for somethings with some personal touch or what ever.

Where did you find this deal? I'm a book junkie and love paperbackswap.com I've got this book on my wish list, but so do tons of other people.

thanks,

I have tons of peppers too. I have jut been drying and freezing with a jar or two of plain ole vinegar based pepper sauce.
I would love some new ideas as well.

I use up a lot of hot peppers by sticking a few into each quart of tomatoes I can for "hot tomatoes". I then use those tomatoes in chili, stew and making smothered spicy chicken.

I also like to pickle the slices in cider vinegar in small jars for later use in Mexican and other spicy recipes.

My last two are favorites around here - hot pickled okra and hot veggie pickles, which are carrot, celery, cauliflower, onion and pepper slices in a cider vinegar pickle. Yummy!

FF - That hot pickle veggie with carrots, onions celery etc sounds wonderful. Do you have that recipe posted anywhere?
