A collander full of homegrown tomatoes and chilli peppers.
The tomatoes are a mix of four varieties, and we are very pleased with the crop quantity and flavour.
I have yet to give the peppers the taste test. Honestly, I’m a little scared. I have no idea of the variety, so I don’t know where they sit on the Scoville Scale. The last time I bit into a fresh chilli, the juice raced over my tongue and down the back of my throat before the tip of my tongue could sound the alarm.
That experience has taught me to be a little more circumspect, to treat all chillies with a modicum of respect.
Having said that, I am a fan of chillies and curries. I like them to be punchy.
We are having a BBQ this weekend, I think I’ll concoct a chilli jam and set it on the table for as an experiment.
Commences evil laughter…..
