Recipe; Habanero/Garlic/Tomato Salsa

Ingredients

5 or more orange Habaneros (all I had or there would be 8)

5 ripe, medium tomatoes

1 bulb garlic (12-14 cloves)

½ c. fresh lime juice

½ medium onion

3 tbsp. tomato paste

2 tbsp. Gebhardt’s Chili Powder

1 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. raw sugar

1-1/2 tsp. black pepper

I used a food processor to chop everything. Don’t overload the processor or you’ll chop everything too fine. I like about ¼” for the tomatoes and onions, and about 1/8” for the Habaneros and garlic (a little smaller won’t hurt).

Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, 2 is better. Cheers.

Harvested My First Orange Habanero Pod

The thing I learned today is that I'm out of shape; I ate 1/4 of the pod with a full placental rib. It was bloody hot! It's been about 8 years since I'd eaten an orange Habanero due to their lack of availability here. I had eaten some fried rice an hour or two earlier but it still hit my stomach fairly hard, but no problem. The flavor was just as I remembered, which is why I like Habaneros so much.
The burn lasted about 6 minutes and set off some endorphens which was nice, very nice. I don't normally eat raw pods by themselves; I usually make a salsa, put them on pizza, or in a dish like chili con carne.
Anyway, it put a big smile on my face; it appears I've got a good crop.

Pods Turning Color on my Orange Habanero

I came home in the early afternoon to a very pleasant surprise; two pods are turning color. This should be the beginning of a steady stream of ripe pods over the next few months. Here's some pics of just where things are at as of today.

The Thais have a saying: If the thing is not in your hand; you don't have it. Life here has taught me that this is so...

We'll see in a few days and coming weeks how this all plays out. Cheers.

First Jalapeño Pod Today; More to Follow

My two favorite peppers are Habaneros and Jalapenos and not necessarily in that order. It's been almost 8 years since I've had a fresh Jalapeño and 5 months since I harvested the 4 Habaneros (7 years without before that). I'll post some picks here in the next few days.
Update:  All 5 Costa Rica Red Habaneros and all 7 Orange Habaneros have pods. At last count/estimate there are well over 100 pods. I'm expecting the first ripe ones sometime next week.
