Christmas Presents

Before we can have our Christmas dinner, we need to clear the dining room table. So this year, rather than jars of pickled chillis, we have a different extra Christmas present for all the relatives. Bags of dried chillis...

I think they look rather festive, and quite smart in those cellophane bags with Tassel Pickle labels. Those are Tokyo Hot and Fiesta chillis.

Meanwhile, the Missus is creating a new sort of Christmas decoration from the dried Guajillos.

It's nearly as big as Little Miss! Only 9 more trayloads to go. Anyone need any dried chillis?

Having been on the excellent Thai cookery course at Aldeburgh school of cookery, I now find myself hosting and cooking on New Years eve so would love some chillies! Will email separately :)

Would love to sample some of your chillies John. Mr Ruby and I both love them and cook frequently with them (especially Mr Ruby who is of Indian origin and sometimes munches a raw chilli on the side of his plate (owch!) if I haven't made the food flavoursome enough for his taste!! Your chillis look brilliant.
