Foragers Chillies & Herbs - Chipotle (Smoked Jalapeño)

Handmade from 100% Jalapeño Chillies grown from seed in Stirlingshire.

Most of the natural heat of the jalapeño is retained in the drying and smoking process. Typically about 5,000 to 10,000 Scoville Units. We smoke the chillies over oak wood for several hours to give a distinctive, fruity aroma and flavour. Then they are dehydrated to a crisp to take all the moisture out and lock the flavour in.

Toast the chipotles in a pan first for a few minutes to wake up the flavour, then soak in hot water for about 30 minutes. You can use the water in your dish too, or freeze for another recipe. Remove the chillies from the water, and then finely chop or purée into a paste for use in your recipe.

The sealed bag is made from NatureFlex, a biodegradable and compostable film made from natural, renewable resources.

This product has a long shelf life and we recommend storing in an air tight container to retain flavour.
