Making Chipotles
With all the jalapenos I grew this year, I'm experimenting with different things to do with them. Just a few things I've done are:
Chipotle Peppers Recipe 1-¼ pounds Red Jalapeno peppers -- with stems 1 cup Dried Red New Mexico Chile Puree OR Commercial Chili Sauce 1 cup Water 4 tbsp Tomato Paste 4 tbsp Cider Vinegar 2 tbsp Dark Brown Sugar 2 clove fresh garlic -- peeled and crushed 1 tsp saltThis will make 2-3 pints.Smoke the peppers at 275 to 300 for 2 – 3 hours until they are soft, brown, and slightly shriveled. Putting them on aluminum foil makes removal easier.Remove the chipotles from the smoker. In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine them with the chili puree/sauce, water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and salt. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring once or twice, until the sauce is very thick, about 15 minutes. Fill jars with peppers and spoon sauce over peppers until within 1/8” from top of jar. Put lid on and process in hot water bath. Any leftovers, cool to room temperature. Transfer mixture to a covered storage container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using. They can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 2 months.UNSAUCED DRIED CHIPOTLES: After removing the chiles from the smoker, place them on a rack and leave them, loosely covered, at room temperature, until crisp, light, and dry, 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the humidity. Store airtight at room temperature.

DM--leave the green japs on the counter for a while and they will turn red. They will also wilt some, but perfect for chipotles. Letting them sit also intensifys the heat a bit. I do this with the green tepin peppers I pick. I leave them out on a sheet pan and they turn red.

Absolutely!! I just used the red ones because they looked purdy and they might be a little sweeter. Other than that, a jalapeno is a jalapeno to me.

I think the reds get used for chipotles just because not many people buy them like they do the green ones.

I would like to be put on the mailing list also.
I love jalapenos, I tried to grow some on my balcony last year and only yielded 1 lonesome pepper. And it wasnt even hot. Im going to have to crank up my aerogarden with peppers soon.
