When the JALAPENO is smoked and dried it is called a "chipotle".
If you experience too much kick when using a jalapeno, remove the seeds and ribs since this is where most of the heat is contained. Be careful to wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly before moving on.
Peppers can last for several days in the refrigerator.
They are still DELICIOUS even when they wrinkle.

You have been getting their quality fruit the last few weeks. We feel confident in their growing practices!! So far we have not been able to predict fruit types as well as we would like. We are in the beginning stages of this relationship and the cold winters and springs have been hard on the local fruit trees. The possibilities "may" be melons, blackberry, peach, blueberry (A little of this and a little of that, not enough of the same kind to give everyone the same fruit).
