Working Hard

Today was a Mexican holiday, the gym was closed so we decided to spend the free time making pickled jalapenos.  Last time we made a batch they were too mild so today we went all out and removed very few seeds.

We cut and cleaned ten kilos of peppers and ended up with 27 half pints of pickled sweet jalapenos.  It was a time consuming process, but well worth the effort.

As you can see from the pictures, the fumes were a little overpowering.  I had to double glove to make sure my hands didn't burn too much.  No rubbing of the eyes today!

Total cost of the peppers: $17.00

Are you sure that's just pickles? From the gloves and masks it almost looks illegal !

Looks like the fumes were too strong for the poor owner to stay indoors!
