Chris planted about 8 pepper plants this spring and we are now enjoying the harvest.... and so are our neighbors.
Saturday morning I went out and picked about 1/2 the peppers.... the kitchen sink is full and we have a box beside the sink that is full as well.
The reason Chris wanted so many peppers is PEPPER JELLY.... you know that sweet and a little hot stuff you put on cream cheese and eat with crackers....
So saturday morning Chris and I made 5 batches of jelly.... it was super easy and didn't take very long... 3 hours for 5 batches... including a quick trip to Wal-mart for more pectin.
behold the glory of peppers
