I bought a lot and I mean a lot of peeper, and it tends to dehydrate and shrivel after a while in the fridge.

Any one got any suggestions about how to keep it.

Hot sauce recipes will be welcome

i always wrap mine in old newspapers with no moisture den airtight in plastic bags before storing in fridge

i blend mine and freeze.

Amaka you love that hot pepper . same here i can't cook without habernero (atarodo sub) o. am so used to hot stews now. 5 tomatoes 3 or more habaneros lol

there is something i do also.

buy large amount of the hot rodo or habenaros pepper
blend them to a very smooth paste with or without onion.
now heat oil and then fry the smooth paste till all the water is dried out. make sure it is not burnt.
store in a plastic bowl for addition to your meals whenever you want it.

it is also good way if others are sharing your meal. you cook without pepper and then use the hot sauce on yours alone.

@omoge

I love pepper o!
I must have it on almost everything.
I think I will try your last suggestion and make the hot sauce to keep.

yummy!
Thank u!

i freeze them just as they are.

same for me, I just freeze them. or a make this pepper sauce:
blend them with fresh tomato, a small onion and a small cube of maggi. then I sautee a teaspoon of tomatoe paste in a tiny bit of oil, then add the blend. let it sautee together for a few minute in a closed pot. because if you open it, you know whats gonna happen to your nose and eyes! then if you want you can add a few drops of white vinegar.

I blend mine and steam it a little to take out the water then put it in plastic container finally in freezer

Most people i know just blend it with a Little chicken broth and salt and then freeze it, in separate container, . . . . .

Bring ;em out and thaw before use and u are good to go, it could last for a Long as six months at this rate,

The hibiscus leaf is zobo. So search for zobo in nairaland you will find plenty suggestions.
