chillies

Our chilli plant shave been shorn of their ripe fruits now, and we have made them into strings for drying.





We have made chilli jam with some of them and, delightfully, the plants now seem to be flowering again in the warmth of our kitchen, so there may be more chillies to come.

Threading them made our eyes water, the piercing them with the needle seemed to release a lot of spice and had me coughing a lot.
