Blumen Paprika Cancun

Variety with medium lifespan. The plant reaches a height of 40-50 cm and produces purple, cherry-shaped fruits that turn orange-red as they ripen. Suitable for pot planting, as a border, or in the garden bed. To have chili peppers available year-round, different storage methods can be chosen.

Drying: Thread the chili peppers onto their stems using a sewing thread and a needle with a fairly large eye. Form a chain about 30 cm long and hang it in a shady, dry place. After about 20 days, the chili peppers will be fully dried and can be stored whole or crushed in jars. After drying, they can also be preserved in jars under oil, maintaining a ratio of ¼ coarsely chopped chili peppers to ¾ extra fine olive oil. Let them sit for at least a month to allow the oil to absorb the full aroma.

In salt: Take a jar with a wide base and pour fine salt into the bottom. Now create layers of whole, fresh chili peppers and salt until the jar is full.

Freezing: Place the fresh chili peppers in freezer-safe plastic bags, remove the air, and seal them.
