You all know that I don't consume the hot peppers but I like to use them (in moderate proportions!) in dishes. But I do love preserving dill pickles, probably because my son can eat a quart per day - if he is on a diet!
So I made some dill pickles and added some Bulgarian Carrot, long, slim cayenne and maybe another mild pepper to the mix. Just tasted them - they have been sitting for six weeks, and the pickles taste perfect. The heat doesn't hit for a few seconds and isn't that hot - I didn't even need to eat any ice cream. Since I have another crop of cukes coming on, I can see turning 1/4 or more of them into hot pickles might be a decent goal.
