Last year's harvest: Chilli Demon Red



Last year (before allotment-ing restarted) we grew some chilli plants outside in a little plastic greenhouse. One of the plants we grew was from a free seedling plant which came through the post (i.e. you pay postage & hopefully order lots of things with it, was from Gardener's World magazine I think) - Demon Red. This made hundreds of little fruits which are relatively hot but have little in the way of flavour.


Anyhow we have been drying a little pot of these in the airing cupboard for a couple of months & finally got around today to chopping the little hats off (boring job) and grinding them up - total harvest around 7g / 0.25oz (but that's dry weight so quite a lot of heat).
