Blumen Paprika Habanero Chocolate

Very resilient plant with lantern-shaped pods measuring 2 to 8 cm in length. Suitable for garden cultivation or pot culture. To have chili pods available year-round, you can choose from various storage methods.

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

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

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