The **Now Eating** Thread

Ooh! What chillies did you use? I once got everything too hot and made a sort of chilli caramel which was also excellent in a thick gloopy sort of way. Should have given a health warning for the fumes though!

I stayed local so could only get 3 packs of Finger chilli's and 2 packs of Birds eye and used 5 Cardamon pods, 1 Cinnamon stick, 1 bottle of cider vinegar, a coating of caster sugar and 3 slices of lemon.

Might make some more boiled eggs and drop them in...In fact, I'm going to do that now

That was the way mine were going and managed to stop them caramelising just in the nick of time and did so through coughing fits..

All this talk of chilis, I'd best share what I got up to at the weekend...

Turned some homegrown habanero, scotch bonnet and Trinidad perfumes into some chili chutney

My ring is twitching just at the thought of the above!

Candied habaneros
I don’t think I’ve got enough on my plants to do that (about 3). Think I might head to a wholesaler and make a job lot for Christmas gifts.

habeneros are nice. my plant was only small had similar to yours not many on but they were nice in currys

Tomato and Chilli Chutney

Tomato and Chilli Chutney - a blend of ripe tomatoes & chilli bursting with Indian spices. Delicious with everything from crackers to grilled meats and perfect with samosas or as a dip for nachos.

Was the recipe I used, and turned out pretty decent. 2Kg of tomatoes and other ingredients just to "use up" about 8 chilis

Ended up using a whole bulb of garlic and 6 eggs @tom_nieto
