Peppers (again!)

The hot weather in the last couple of weeks has really been ripening the peppers. I spent a happy ten minutes this morning, picking them.


I roasted the sweet peppers and then pulled the skins off them, once they'd cooled down a bit.



Then I packed them into a jar and pressure canned them for half an hour. This should preserve them over the winter.


I also tried a new trick with the pressure cooker - using it to cook eggs. Fresh eggs are always a pain to peel, but if you cook them in the pressure cooker, they turn out to be extremely easy. I cooked them at the lower pressure setting for six minutes. I think next time I'll do it for four or five, as the yolks were a bit dry for my taste, but this was definitely an experiment that was worth repeating.

Yum! We've been getting some very tasty peppers from our veggie share the past couple of weeks. It's a good thing we all enjoy them. They're so beautiful, too!
