This year has been an exceptionally good for chili. As you may not know I like hot food and have become a passionate chili gardener and consumer.

The harvest

Unlike previous years I could harvest a lot of chilies already in July and August. I think this is because I overwintered some plants and also build a raised bed, which dramatically accelerates the growth of the plants. I grow several chili strains this year, including two different kinds of habaneros, scotch bonnets, lemon drop, and some others I forgot the name ;)

Preparation

The sauce I prepared this time was more or less free style with ingredients readily available in the garden and kitchen. I like to combine chili with something fruity. This time I used figs from the garden and pears picked from some trees.

Preparation is easy. Cut the chilies and fruits, roast or cook them for some minutes, add some vinegar and lemon juice and finally blend it!

The result

Very tasty and also pretty hot.
