Homemade Chipotle


The summer garden bounty now includes jalapeño as well as tomato. Since I have a smoker and a dehydrator, I decided to make my own chipotle chilies. These are, of course, merely smoked jalapeños. Given the much higher ambient humidity here, I finish them in the dehydrator for preservation. 


These combine with fire roasted tomatoes to make a fine salsa. Three jars of it are pictured at the top.

Looks good!
We are deep in tomatillos this summer, figure to make roasted tomatilla's, roasted tomatos and pablano pepper salsa.

Big berry crop also- a wet spring helped them develop. NIce to have raspberry and blackberry jam in the middle of the winter. Sort of a taste of summer.
