~Chili Pepper Sauce~

The bounty of the summer harvest is something gardeners all over the world get excited about at this time of year.  From the rural farmer, to the city dweller with only a simple tomato plant growing on their balcony.  We all know the end of August is the time to reap our rewards.

The little chili pepper, packs a punch, so not for the beginner spice-a teer.  This recipe makes good use of these pretty little peppers.  You can use the pepper of your choice, but for this recipe , I used the little black Hungarian ones, and the firey red hot chili peppers.  To calm the beast down , I added a good helping of tomatillos from the garden , and a sweet red pepper .

Fresh herbs are something I cannot live without.  It is not only used for cooking in the kitchen, but each of these herbs have their own wonderful smell, and that my friends is called Aromatherapy.  Guaranteed to keep you in good Karma for the day. I used the oregano , and thyme in this recipe

A quick rinse to get the garden soil off and they will be ready to go

Please make sure to wear rubber gloves when handling these peppers.  This is no time for shortcuts.  If you don’t wear rubber gloves and end up touching your eyes , you will left in excruciating pain for a while
