Ideas for making homemade jalapeño seasoning…

[Compulsive Smoker]

My wife planted 2 jalapeño pepper plants this past spring, and they went crazy!

I have probably two more buckets worth still on the plants, and I’m looking for ideas on making homemade jalapeño seasonings…

I sliced a few in half, and have them in the dehydrator. I’m thinking to grind them once they’re dried out.

What would you add to that powder?

Also, any other ideas that use up a bunch of jalapeños are welcome!

Thanks Brian! I just read through it a little bit, most helpful!

My first thought was maybe some dried Mexican oregano, garlic and smoked paprika...

Would you do the same amount of each of those?

I could eat 3-4 ABT's everyday. You could also do some Cowboy Candy or smoke them and do some Chipotle Peppers in Adobo.

I’ve made several batches of ABT’s, in fact I just ate some leftovers for lunch a few minutes ago!

I would like to make cowboy candy, I saved a recipe off of this forum for that.

Do you have a recipe for chipotle peppers in adobo?

If the jalapeño is your base ingredient, I would think
4 parts jalapeño
2 parts garlic powder
2 parts smoked paprika
1 part mexican oregano

I would mix up a small batch and try it then adjust it from there if needed.

I was just going to say jelly, follow the Ball Jars recipe, it's killer over smoked cream cheese around the holidays.

Thanks John! I’ll give that a go!

I like this idea! There is a local restaurant that serves it on burgers, and it’s crazy good! I have plenty of peppers to experiment with!

If you let them turn red and smoked them you could either pack in adobo sauce or dry and grind for Chipotle powder.

In my case, I used to smoke jalapenos for several hours, finish dry them in my dehydrator, then turn them to powder in my blender. Used it for everything.

So, if I just leave them on the plant, they’ll turn red before they rot?

Sounds good! That was kind of my idea, except I hadn’t thought of the smoking part! Great idea! Thanks!

I tend to have a 70% success of them turning red before rotting. Technically green is unripe.

I just learned something new! Climate might make a difference? You probably have it hotter and drier in TX than we do here in PA…

You can pick green and let ripen in a window as well. I have put them in a paper bag with a banana to force ripen as well. They won't be truly ripened like on the window or vine but the color will be there.

Thanks Shawn! I really appreciate it!
