Freshly ground pepper

[Shamanjoe]

I have relatives in the Philippines who grow black pepper commercially, so every time I go (or they visit) I get a huge bag of peppercorns. Sometimes I don't put it on anything, I just sit there and smell the bag

I also love a healthy dose on asparagus.. yum.

Whole peppercorns will last for many years without losing potency if kept cool and dry, preferably in a closed conainer.

As far as I can see, we didn't mention nuts.

Re-found a recipe for Candied Nuts with a Szechwan variant this morning. Found it on line here, near the bottom of the page. If you like hot pepper, Szechwan and Human food, etc, you will love theses.

A nice ripe free stone peach seasoned with coarse ground black pepper and grilled over a nice hot woodburning or charcoal grill is great. Go's great with duck confit.(also great with free stone nectarines).

Fresh gound pepper over cottage cheese makes a great snack, I like a small drizzle of honey over it as well.

Black pepper creme anglaise

Horseradish and black pepper whipped cream for prime rib, or any beeef roast for that matter.

A basic vanilla macaroon cookie recipe with a few turns of pink pepper corn just to season turned out surprisingly good.

I have not been active in the forum for awhile so I though i would offer an update. Pepper-Passion isn running a coupon special until December 15th, 2010. Use the coupn code NOV2010 and you will receive 15% off on your order.

I also regret to advise that the farm that produced the excellent "Talamanca Del Caribe" pepper was sold and converted to Pinapple production. A huge loss for peper lovers. We have a small amount remaining but it will likely be gone befoe year's end. We are still looking for another reliable supplier form Ecuador in the hopes of finding a product with similar characteristics.

That's such sad news. Yet again a sustainable crop being run over by something that may have more immediate cash returns but will eventually do more harm to the land.

I have a sufficient supply to last for some time but I did place an order for some others on which I am running low.

Have used quite a lot of the Kampot in preparing some delicate pickled peaches and apricots. The flavor really comes through and enhances the flavor of the fruit. Much better than "regular" peppercorns.
