Peter Would Be Proud

We finished picking the garden last weekend. It was a nice day and we knew cold and rain would be coming our way. About all we had left were peppers and more peppers.
As you can see our peppers did quite well this year.  That's my husband hiding behind that one.  He was a good sport and held it while I snapped a few pics.

What in the world am I going to do with all these peppers?  I decided to freeze the sweet green ones to use later in cooking. That's an easy fix for them. Now on to the sweet red ones and ALL those semi hot ones.  hmmmm... 

How about some pepper jam?  This is the jam I came up with.  I roasted some sweet red and some hot on the grill.  I then peeled and chopped them, added some garlic, onion, fresh basil, vinegar, and sugar and viola' we had pepper jam.

Since everthing sits better on a "ritz" we decided to try some with cream cheese. yum..yum   That ended up being our dinner that night.   What do you think Tracey?  Looks yummy doesn't it?
