Home Grown Chillies

Chillies, where we are in Sydney, Australia are perennial as the winters are mild enough to be able to over winter them without them dying. I am still getting chillies from plants I planted from seed 3 years ago and they are probably one of my most productive crop.
I grow several varieties of chilli from the mild yellow chillies that are great stuffed to the fiery Thai birds eye chillies and I have even been successful growing some dangerously hot Scotch Bonnets. NOT for the feint hearted!
At this time of the year we get a glut of chillies and although we like our food hot, we have far too many to use.




We freeze some and the rest I use in chilli pickle and I'll share this recipe with you in my next post.
