I’d love to do some windowsill gardening, but all my sills are either slanted, or too narrow…

Nice!

What have you got in mind for the sauce?

Just using a random recipe I found online. With onion, garlic, salt, water and vinegar.

Got my second harvest today. Going to try pickling them as I have no idea what else to do with them.

You can make a paste out of it or you can dry them or make a hotsauce

I made a hot sauce with the previous batch but I wasn’t too happy with it. It’s not bad, but not my favourite.

Do you maybe have a lekker recipe for next time?

The pickling went well, found a recipe that takes 10 minutes and I had some with my lunch yesterday and again today on my broodjies and it was lekker.

My last attempt was a disaster with a recipe I got off the web.
Want to try this one next.

Yeah I also found the recipe online and it looked good but it didn’t turn out great. Its not terrible, but store bought sauces are much better.

I used the pineapple one as a base for one of my recipes, and it is my most popular sauce. People love it.
