Tip What to do with too many chili/habanero/jalapeno/peppers

G'day everyone!

Early this year I planned on cultivating 7 different chili plants. Well only 3 grew out but holy moly did those grew well and 2 produced so much I didn't even know where to put them anymore😅🙈

1st plant was the odd supermarket chili:

purchased some to use and saved some seeds not caring about F1 or something like that. And they grew just amazingly well 😍

ended up with 10 adult plants, 5 on my small balcony (2,50m x 1,27m) much too close to each other in a long window container (1mX0,2mX0,2m) all crammed together. But with the balcony facing south (northern hemisphere) it got really hot in summer and they had the premiere place in the first row on the front so they got sun from rise to set-> those produced over the season about 2kg which is a huge amount considered the circumstances 😅 but I had to water 2-3 times a day...

The other 5 went to the garden of a good friend of mine, which turned out to be our shared garden, so they kind of came back to me. They ended up in a small greenhouse and he'll did those produce 🙈 over the season surely up to 6kg and some are still hanging on the last plant 😅🙈

->> those turned out to be hotter than expected to be from store bought "mild" ones but nothing one can't handle (except my fiancé but ge can't handle chili in anyway, so... 🤣🥵) fruits about 5-10cm long

2nd plant that was also very pretty to look at was a Numex variety:
3 seeds sprouted and I kept all of them in a 3L Container together. Beautiful little bush that was 😍 really fell in love with it. Tasted good as well but with each a size of just 1-3cm, one of them was as hot as one of the first ^ from above 🥵 in both cases it was always 1 chili per frying pan/pot (still plenty enough to make my fiancé sweat 😈) got about 1kg from those plants

3rd was/is the Jalapeno early:

that didn't work as well as the others but the seeds didn't sprout at first and then where 2 month late, but now I took the plant inside and it's still producing and ... well. Those are so hot... I can't eat them 😅🙈 fruits have a size of 3-6cm and are much more fleshy than the others. There're just about 9 hanging on the plant. Had a 1mm slice of the point of the first red one on my toasted sandwich 🥪 and he'll 🥵🔥🔥🔥 that bite shot through my mouth like a bullet... not repeating that again. Luckily I have two good volunteers, I mean friends, that really like hot'n spicy chili so they are not going to waste anyway.
No Pic of that one sadly

but what did I do with the pile of the first two?

about 5 kg I gave fresh to my volunteers, I mean friends
○ about 1kg I used myself fresh
■ the rest got chopped and cooked and I did my very own hot sweet'n'sour chili sauce:

- فلفل قرمز تقریباً خرد شده
(با دانه ها و همه چیز، فقط مواد سبز را برداشته و مقداری دانه ذخیره کرده است)
-حدود 3 لیتر آب
-2 قاشق سوپ خوری سرکه سفید
-10 قاشق سوپ خوری شکر

همه چیز را به مدت 30 دقیقه پخته و از میکسر/مخلوط کننده برای شکستن آن اما بیشتر استفاده کرد.
آن را به 2 قسمت تقسیم کرد.
اضافه
- کورکوما و پودر کاری هندی به یک قسمت
-پودر پاپریکا به دیگری
(عمدتاً برای رنگ، برای تمایز بهتر بین این دو)
- مقداری نشاسته به هر دو اضافه کنید تا کمی غلیظ شود

-و در لیوان های آماده و وویلا به صورت داغ پر می کنیم 🥳

امروز در کباب پزمون یه تست ذائقه کوچولو از اون تلاش داشتیم😋
حکم: قوی، اما خوب، اما باید با سس کچاپ کاری مخلوط می شد، حتی داوطلبان من، یعنی دوستان، آن را به تنهایی خوردند.

این برای آن است. با فلفل دلمه ای خود چه می کنید؟

به سلامتی
واقعا حق با شماست و محصولات ارگانیک عالی تولید کرده اید
اما بزرگترین مشکل این است که ما در یک آپارتمان زندگی می کنیم و فضای کافی برای کاشت این گیاهان و میوه های زیبا را نداریم.

You are absolutely right and you have produced excellent organic products
But the biggest problem is that we live in an apartment and we don't have enough space to plant these beautiful plants and fruits.

Heya @chef haghighi , please talk in English here (even if you use Google Translate to put it in here, perfectly fine). It's hard to moderate if everyone speaks a different language ;)

you can still grow them. 15-20 L bucket for 1 plant is enough. just provide enough water and fertilizer over the year. Best a Window with full sun, or a growing light. They are beautiful to look at as well.
