Time....

Eat MOAR peppers.

I like the burn, that is why I grow and eat the peppers......:)
Otherwise, Time is the only absolute way to get rid of the burn...:)

LOL The point in growing Hot peppers is to get the Burn!!!!

Milk.

you planted jalapeño AND chipotle? neat trick! post pics :)

Ice Cold Beer. Milk and other dairy products are scientifically proven to reduce the effect, but there's just something about the heat of a chile and the chill of a beer.

"you planted jalapeño AND chipotle? neat trick! post pics :)"
Your joke went over my head, but I can post pics....

Peppers on the right

Dairy products work well as does salt. Sprinkle salt on your tongue and let it sit.

yogurt.
try raita (from india) ... yogurt mixed with chopped cucumber and a dash of salt n' black pepper.

harleysilo,

Very nice setup!

shelbyguy is just funnin' you a little bit. It may have said chipotle on the seed package, but first comes the jalapeño and then you smoke them to get chipotles.

I can never remember what comes first... the ancho or the poblano. Senior moment thing.

Here is a link that might be useful: Chipotle

HAHAHA, I see, jokes on me! Well, that was an interesting read, I red some eariler to try and figure out what was meant, and thought red jalapeones were a different variety, not ones that had just been left on the vine all season. Smoking them sounds like it could be fun, but smoking them for days sounds a bit work intensive....I guess you could take breaks during the process....

harleysilo,

I've smoked a lot of pepper varieties. And I mean a lot. (hard to keep them lit though) It's almost impossible to equal the non-bitter flavor of the chipotles bought at market.

And I make a lot of powders too. Some of my best blends are made by dehydrating store bought chipotle in adobo sauce and then kicking up the heat a little with habs, rocotos etc.

nice raised bed. I like it and the trellis next to it. What else are you planting in it? What are the little rows just germinating?

KENDRA

I've just come to the conclusion that beer, water and other things like those just spread the Capsaisin around and only give very temporary relief. If I've eaten a pepper that surprised me, then I just let it burn until the pain go away. I don't drink anything when munching raw peppers anymore (unless before the fact or some time after).

I've tested my theory with at least beer, water and pop and even if you're chugging liquid constantly for 5 minutes I know by now that I will pay for the "mistake" no matter what (oh well, easy burden to bear, really!)

Oh well! :) Dang, this makes me hungry! Where did I hide those Habs? :)

jalapeño's are hot???? I thought they were like Pepperochinni's...You know like candy, eat 'em by the handfull for a snack.

Try a fresh ripe Purira or a Rocoto sun warmed right off the vine. Hooo boy!

Wait I still don't get it some of you grind up dried peppers and put them in a tobacco pipe and smoke it? Seriously? What's that like, a little harsh no doubt? Or do you smoke it in a water bong, wait you are all gardners so you probably just grab the nearest apple and smoke it in that! Or I bet with a little knife I could make a piece pipe out of a long skinny pepper!

Thanks for the compliment Kendra. So far we have the 9 pepper plants you can see, half a row of snap peas behind them and a half of the same row planted with green beans, which the trellis will hopefully support if it's tall enough. Scattered around we have some of the white radishes that grow like a carrot. Then rows of carrots radishes lettuce spinach, a couple strawberries and several cucumber vines that I will train to the fence surrounding the garden... I think I planted too many peppers, but I can give them away I'm sure.

Don't smoke them like dope...Not good, probably like snorting Wasabi (Green powdered Japanese horseradish) which is also a very, very bad idea.

When we smoke peppers we smoke them like fish or meat so we can eat them.

Some carry the process of smoking to drying and then grinding into a fine powder to use as a condoment for fiid like salt.

Don't smoke peppers like cigaretts as they would probably kill you.

The cigarettes, or the peppers, or both? LOL

ButchT

Probably better off huffing the peppers, that darn tobacco will kill ya. (Grin)

Got it!

I thought all the heat might have gone to some of youralls heads.....

So Is there a good link to instructions on smoking peppers. I'd like to preserve some this year, dry them out, to have for cooking and to make my own crushed red pepper.

From the Annie's Salsa page (link below), here's one set of instructions on drying peppers for crushed and ground red pepper:

Brenda,
I grow my own jalapenos and let them turn red, and if they have [corking] lines on them, it's said that's very good. I take peppers, cut off ends, de-seed, put on smoker rack and smoke for a few hours, then I put peppers in dehydrator and dry until very dry, so they crumble/flake when ground in a coffee grinder.

If you want pepper flakes, just don't grind them as long as you would for a fine powder. And when you do this (typically use a cheap coffee grinder, and don't use it anymore for coffee!) either open it outside after grinding, or wear a facemask or other protection... breathing in fresh-ground hot pepper is not good!

I have heard that something sweet counteracts the burn. In Thailand, where they love spicy foods, PepsiCola is the most popular soda because it is sweeter than Coke and thus relieves the burning.

Try tomato/V8 juice to relieve the Burn

ButchT, Loved your cajun shrimp, F'n awesome

I pour granulated sugar on my tongue til it goes away.

My 10 year old wanted to try a fresh Ghost pepper he took one bite and ran to the fridge; guzzled milk, ate yogurt and finally ate two tablespoons of butter. Pretty sure that did the trick :)
