Alright Craig after reading over your post a few times I'm taking a stab at it! I bought 1lb of Jalapenos, .3 lb of habeneros a couple bell peppers and onions. Starting small and not so hot (or so i think)....
Learned a lesson never to buy peppers at Walmart...the girl thought the habeneros were Red Bell peppers...which i wouldn't have minded because it would have saved me some money...then i tell her they are habeneros...she has to call her manager over. They both stare at the computer screen for a few minutes....then tell me that you have to buy habs individually....I'm getting a kick out of this...till they ring up 14 peppers at 5.80/lb....$81 shows up on the register..i ask them "do you really think that seems right?". They were stumped....after a line of 10 people formed i told them to just take back the habs. i left and went to publix where i'll be buying peppers from for now on. i was trying to save a trip since i was already at wally world.
This morning i sliced up all the pepper....sliced my finger pretty good, shoulda have more coffee first. divided everything up pretty evenly in 3 jars...some of my japs might have been cut to think (1/2")...hopefully they'll still ferment properly. I put a layer of salt every 1/4" of peppers...
Planning to add onions to the puree after the fermentation...maybe i should have added onions during this process but was running out of time before work
put cheese cloth over the jar and tied with twine...
Here are pics...i'll let sit in cupboard for a week then add then Vinegar. Will keep everyone posted...
Jalepenos on bottom, thing layer of Habeneros, lastly Red Bells on top
