Tabasco Peppers 9/14

 


I've been mostly harvesting them green this year. Wanted some orange and red ones to put in the small Jack Daniels bottle with vinegar. Still some green ones on the plants.

Black-Eyed Pea Soup

 


Making this up. 1lb. dried peas. 1 big onion, 2 stalks celery, 2 cloves garlic. 1 can diced tomato, 1 can Rotel tomato. Chicken broth. Seasoning meat (I am using 2 pork chops.) Thyme, bay leaf, cayenne.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-eyed_pea

I always boil dried beans or peas for 20 minutes first, then drain, and start over. Removes impurities and makes for a smoother finish. The pork chops I am cooking first, then simmer in the soup for a while, remove and reserve the meat and add bones back. Add the chopped pork back to soup in last 30 minutes of cooking.

Cherry Bounce

 


Making now for the holidays. I'm using one bag frozen dark cherries but pitted fresh cherries are best. 2/3 cup sugar, 2 whole cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, 2-3 cups whiskey. Combine everything in a jar, shake, and store in a dark place at least 3 months. Shaking occasionally.
