Busy day in the kitchen!

[BillMac]

Harvested a bunch of jalapenos, cayennes and cowhorns over the past few weeks. Tuesday I gutted the peppers and started the candying process. Finished them today and dipped a few of them in a dark chocolate coating. I bought a pound or so of bacon ends at the local market, chopped that up and fried and drained it. I then used some of the now-spicy syrup from the candying process to make spicy maple bacon toffee brittle with pecans.

Next up is to start a small batch of homemade chocolate ice cream with some of the candied peppers!
