Full StoryHey folks, I've been extremely sporadic about posting for quite some time, but expect I'm gonna start up for frequently. I have begun a line of home-canned jams, pickles, etc at the store where I work, and will likely have questions!
As for the Jalapenos. I have done slices, with the skin, pickled, with onions and carrots and they are fine. I tried whole, burning the skin over my gas range and rubbing it off...then putting a tiny slit in the pepper so that the brine could enter. They were very tasty, with the bit of roasted/char flavor...but too mushy. I'm thinking that they cook too much when I burn the skin to get it off...maybe my flame is not hot enough, and I need to invest in an acetylene torch? My boss and I both love the flavor, but the minute you try and slice them, they just mush up.
Or, perhaps if I leave the skins on, like the sliced ones I made, and just singe them enough to rub bits of skin off, leaving the charcoal flavor?
Has anyone done this, and have advice?
