Great video! I really enjoy watching you and I learn a lot, thank you. I am curious how hot your enchilada sauce is because I’m quite the sissy when it comes to spices, but I love flavor.

[@ADifferentKindofQuiet]

It wasn’t hot at all and had great flavor! It certainly smelled spicy but it really wasn’t. 😊

Can you use the seeds from the dried peppers to plant new peppers in the spring?

[@ADifferentKindofQuiet]

I hadn’t thought about that. I’m not sure on the entire process but I should try it. 😊

@@ADifferentKindofQuiet as long as they weren’t cooked and we’re just dried out it seems like they would be OK, but I don’t know the answer to that

a) make sure they are not hybrids, as their seeds are often not true-breeders. b) warm soil/air... peppers, like tomatoes, need warm soil to germinate...> 55F ( > 50F for most tomatoes) c) Living at the 45th parallel in Western Oregon, we have to start them indoors or in a green house with warmed soil (either elec-pads or perhaps circulating warm water in tubes in starter beds.) Maybe a hot/active compost layer below the starts, but you have to keep decomp gasses off the roots (that will slow/stop growth) so maybe start them in a cloche over cut green cover crop mulch w/lots of active decomp bacteria added. Just a few thoughts.

It looks like you have plenty of peppers in your garden. Could you use those to make the sauce?

[@ADifferentKindofQuiet]

The flavor completely changes once the pepper is dried. I have tons of recipes where I use my fresh peppers and I also freeze some for later. I would like to learn how to dry them so I could use them in these types of recipes. 😊
