I just popped out for some groceries, and spotted a red chilli plant in the veg section, reduced from £3.50 to 89p!
The red pot is my own, I thought it would encourage the plant.
There are 6 ripe chillis on it now, and lots more green to come, if I can avoid killing it. I've put it in the sunniest spot I have in the flat.
According to this site I can freeze them by simply putting them in a box in the freezer as they ripen. When I've got plenty, I might have a go at chilli jam - there's a recipe in my new WI book. I don't use a lot of chilli in my cooking, but maybe that's because I don't tend to buy them....
