Allow them to stand till cold. Remove from the saucepan, wash them down, and store in a cool place.<br /><br />The peppers I put into the oven or under the grill to sear the skins, remove the blackened skin, discard the stalk and seeds, put them into jars, preserving the pan juices along with the peppers, fill the jars and cover with oil to seal. Screw on the lids and place in deep saucepan and like the tomatoes bring to the boil and simmer 15 minutes.<br /><br />Hope you are keeping well and the heat is lessening.<br />God Bless you.<br />HelenaHelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521437791842572583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-1823647462901963932017-08-01T23:52:28.296+02:002017-08-01T23:52:28.296+02:00What happened to your other blog?

This sounds interesting and doable.<br />"The construction of a house has never looked so simple and fun. French startup Catharhome has developed an ecological and economical wooden brick named Brikawood.<br /><br />Situated in the Pyrenees, Catharhome has specialised in innovative products for wood construction for 30 years. Brikawood are wooden bricks which can be built like a Lego, without glue neither nails nor screws. This is the idea of engineer Alain Romero and it has taken him three years of research to develop it with the help of Patricia Dutreux. They have invested 330 000 Euros in this project."<br /><br />The contact info is:<br />Brikawood website: http://www.brikawood-ecologie.fr<br /><br />I hope your garden is growing. I've been harvesting beans, eggplants, peppers and lettuce. The cucumbers are ready for pickling and the tomatoes are almost ready. Alas, I have no luck with zucchini but Yukon Gold potato vegetation as died pack and we'll be making potato pancakes soon.<br /><br />Good luck, Hilary and God Bless you for your writing.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231865228884547577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-65396811690490681102017-07-28T12:23:18.165+02:002017-07-28T12:23:18.165+02:00We made huge pots of tomato soup with our large cr...We made huge pots of tomato soup with our large crop of tomatoes. You can throw your peppers into that too. Once the tomatoes were no longer ripening, my husband made chutney out of them. It was delicious. <br /><br />LydiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-51642425573298626832017-07-27T16:45:58.461+02:002017-07-27T16:45:58.461+02:00Really appreciate the update, Hilary.

Finished it last week and am sort of trying to get my head back into the real world. I feel like I've been in an odd fugue state for all this time, during which all I really remember is that the weather has been bloody awful. I can't stand heat. <br /><br />And I've got a huge crop of tomatoes and have to figure out what to do with them. Peppers too.
