I thought I’d only get a handful of cayenne peppers, but my plant exploded with dozens. I had no idea what to do with them all, so I ended up stringing them like holiday garlands. What’s your go‑to way to use up a big pepper harvest?
 
I smoke mine on the grill, then blend them into hot sauce. My buddies go crazy for it on ribs! It’s actually a fun way to use up a big harvest, and that smoky flavor gives it something store-bought sauces just can’t match
 
you can make powder, freeze them, or make home made hot sauce. but my fav is to pickle them in vinegar, salt, and sugar for spicy sandwich toppers
