Hot Pepper Desserts
Just in case you got bored adding hot peppers to chili and stew I found some delightful dessert recipes to brighten your palate. We're all familiar with hot pepper jelly but have you heard of strawberry jalapeno poppers? They are not as you'd expect, jalapeno peppers stuffed with strawberry jam, but hollowed strawberries filled with cream cheese and hot pepper paste. Check out this recipe if you like trying new things.
Of course there is the traditional Aztec chocolate, which does include a healthy helping of hot peppers and no sugar at all. To make up for the lack of sweetness you can accompany it with candied jalapeno peppers or chili banana muffins.
The list grows, apparently you can add hot peppers to pretty much anything, Bundt, crème bruleé, ice cream, pfeffe
usse, cheesecake, peanut brittle, fudge. The spicy corn bread didn't faze me, because I had of it before, but I can say that hot pepper macaroons pretty much pushed the limits of my culinary audacity.
Just stick with the tried and true and have some chocolate covered jalapenos, or flaming habanero cinnamon cookies, you know, normal fare.

I started learning about gardening from my grandfather, at the age of four. Despite his forty years' experience as a natural sciences teacher, mine wasn't a structured instruction, I just followed him around, constantly asking questions, and he built up on the concepts with each answer.
I started blogging in 2010 to honor his memory and share the joy of growing all things green and the beauty of the garden through the seasons. Two garden blogs were born this way: allyeargarden.com and theweeklygardener.com, a periodical that followed it one year later. I wanted to assemble an informal compendium of the things I learned from him, wonderful books, educational websites, and my own experience, in the hope that other people might find it useful it in their own gardening practice.
