Receipes
HOT!
I love to grow Jalapenos.   
Although I really love to do any kind of canning I found this receipe and it is really easy and great.
Don't forget the plastic kitchen gloves!!


Stuffed Jalapenos
12 whole pickled jalapenos (Cajun Chef Brand)
1 cup cooked and diced chicken, crab or shrimp
1 cup rice 1 cup Monterrey Jack cheese
1 cup yellow corn meal
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup milk
4 cups vegetable oil - for frying
Slice the jalapenos lengthwise, leaving the stems on. Use a small paring knife to scrape out the seeds and veins. Rinse the jalapenos and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, crab or shrimp, rice and cheese. Stuff the jalapenos with this mixture. They should look full and plump.
Place the cornmeal on a plate. Mix the eggs and milk in a small bowl. Dip the stuffed jalapenos into the egg mixture and then roll in the cornmeal, and repeat.
In a large, deep pan, heat the oil to 350 degrees. Fry the jalapenos, no more than six at a time, in the oil for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon. Drain the jalapenos on a paper towel.
Serve with serrano cilantro ranch for dipping.

Serrano Cilantro Ranch
2 Cups Buttermilk
2 Cups Mayonnaise (tip:  do not use Miracle Whip)
1 Teaspoon Garlic - minced
¼ Bunch Cilantro - leaves removed
4 Serrano peppers - stems and seeds removed, finely chopped
1 Teaspoon Salt ¼ Teaspoon Pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a large, deep mixing bowl with a hand blender. Mix until cilantro is well incorporated into the mixture.
