Default Red Jalapenos

Anyone have a good connection for Fresh Red Ripe Jalapenos in Phoenix or
Arizona for making Chipotles? I usually go to 2 or 3 Food City Hispanic
Markets around town and pick out the colored ones from the mountain of
Jalapenos but I would like to do a full box or bushel of red and ripe in my
WSM smoker.

What happens if you smoke green jalapenos? Is it just a yucky color? are
they hotter or milder than the red?

Thanks,

Brad

Go ahead and smoke the green ones. They don't result in that nice roan
color (more brown) but they will taste the same. If that's not to your
liking, buy the green ones and let them ripen in your kitchen. Either way
is better than chasing all over town for red ones.

Thanks,
I will try the green. I have found "red jalapenos" in some markets but they
don't have the same shape. They have a pointy tip rather than a rounded tip
so they may be a Fresno or something. The price is always about 3 times more
than the green. At the major Hispanic markets they usually have 5 or more
bushels on display so I can weed through them and find a few turning.
Besides the price is less than half of what you would pay in a Gringo
market.
Does anyone have a tip on ripening? Room temperature? in a bag with a
banana? or just out in the open to shrivel up?

Brad

My markets aren't that sophisticated and only have two varieties of
jalapeño; in stock or out of stock.

Get ya a piece of your wifey's thread and a needle. "Sew" em through the
tops right where the flesh meets the stem cap. When you get plenty on the
thread, tie the ends together (or let hang long) and hang em up where they
can dry out. In the sun is best but given this time of year, you may find
the garage wall a nice place.

He's trying to ripen them, not dry them.

In a paper bag would be quicker, but they would still ripen on the counter.

In my area I can get the green japs for 99 cents per lb. The red ones
are 3.99.

Big price diff! I smoke and dry the green ones because they don't look
all that different after processing and they taste the same.

Yeah, so? If he's got bunches to do, I doubt he wants them laying all over
his kitchen counter. Stringin em up is the best bet.
