    First harvest tonight, as it was looking very unhealthy. Eaten by
    gastropods, it was.

    The root, OTOH is divine. The pot absolutely packed with threads, and I
    am now looking for recipes to make sauce ready for rib of beef on
    Christams day.

    Fan bloody tastic stuff. My thanks to you and the good doctor. I shall
    raise a glass of the lovely Merlot I bought for Christmas dinner in
    thanks to you both.

    Scrape/peel the skin off to clean then grate finely and mix with just enough
    Hellmans mayo to bind.
    Store in jars in the fridge.

    I had forgotten about mine. It was looking very robust just before the
    cold snap. Must check it out tomorrow.

    I have a little chili pepper bush in a largish earthen pot which is
    loaded with nice looking (and tasting) fruit.

    I've been harvesting as required but I can't see it all being used this
    side of the frosts [1]. I have about 15 2" peppers left.

    Anyway, harvest and storage - how to?

    Me: "Don't you like the crumble?"

    Personally I like swwet an sour chilli garlic sauce.

    Same weight of garlic as chilli. Process to desired consistency. Add
    vinegar and sugar to taste.

    Stick in sterilised jars and away you go.

    Wear rubber gloves....
    Sounds wonderful.

    I think you can just air dry the fuckers. Hang them up somewhere warm.

    I tried that with one in the airing cupboard and it went a bit odd.

    How long does it keep?

    TBH I've never seen it go off. It never lasted long enough, but several
    months.

    If you're worried, get the whole thing up to just below boiling and use
    sterilised jars, and it should keep like jam.

    I chopped and froze mine, not used any yet so I don't know if it has
    been successful or not.

  13. I'll tell her. We need to cull our Horseradish Alien some more, as it's
    invading the garden again. Anyone else want some? Be warned that it is
    *ferociously* strong.

    *ding*

    yogurt pots make handy containers for portion sized amounts: line them with
    plastic bags and then transfer the bags to a larger container once they are
    frozen

    You'll get freezer burn on them if keeping for many months. For longer
    storage I'd cook them up with some tomato, herbs & onion to use as a base
    for a pizza or pasta sauce.
