Affnan's Aquaponics: Pickling Chillies

What do you do if you have too many Chillies ? Answer : Pickle them !
I love pickled chillies especially the smaller varieties, great appetizer with hot rice. This is how I pickle mine.

What you need are fresh chillies and vinegar, its best to use natural vinegar either from rice, apple or grape and I use distilled white vinegar. Wash those chillies and place them in a jar, pour vinegar to full and add small amount of table salt, just a bit half teaspoon or less will do. That's it.

Sometime I don't put salt. .Keep the jar at room temperature, it should be ready in 2 weeks time.

You notice the chillies I put with stem and I did not remove it. There is a reason for it, well more like Old Wife's Tale actually. If you pickle it without the stem, you are more likely to get stomach upset after consuming it and you fell slight discomfort on the "rear end" after a trip to the loo.

Just remove the stem before consumption, this is also true about fresh chillies of this type, cook it with the stem. Don't ask me why.. it just work. :)

Selamat Datang

I am an Aquaponics Enthusiast from Malaysia. My involvement with Aquaponics started in early 2008 moving from water gardening, ornamental fish keeping and from necessities to keep plants alive in concrete jungle we live in.

Urban Agrostyle specializing in Media Based Flood & Drain Aquaponics using siphon, producing vegetables and fish for household use in the small space that I have. Ornamental Aquaponics is another area of aquaponics that I am looking at with working prototype that currently in use.

I did made some design improvement to the aquaponics siphon making it more reliable and as such that it is an "install and forget" item in the system.

This blog is about my daily activities in Aquaponics, trying new things, improving on old or just routine work that I do. It will also be some blunders that happens occasionally, so that it will be a lesson learned and not repeated.

I don't do Aquaponics on a commercial scale because it requires different level of expertise, settings and support equipment, therefore I will not reply any query on it.

Thank you and do enjoy your visit and hope it’s beneficial to both you and me.

Aquaponics refers to a food production system that couples aquaculture with hydroponics whereby the nutrient rich aquaculture water is fed to hydroponic grown plant, involving nitrifying bacteria for converting ammonia into nitrates. Want to know how to build an aquaponics system step by step?
