Going to be making a Milder & gentler hot sauce for the wings with these.

I've started the proccess of making Chipolty Pepper spice.

And the first step I did was blanching the peppers in ice water.

Then I've dried them on the paper towels for the grill.

Then I've direct grilled them for the first hour to get the char on the peppers.

After the first hour I've moved them over to the indirect heat and slow smoked them for 5 more hours.

Then I've pulled them about 15 minutes ago ( and they're exactly what I've wanted )

I thought you do the ice water bath after you cook them on the grill to shock them so the skin peels off.

Thats what I thought too. In addition, stops the cooking process.

"Blanching is a cooking term that describes a process of food preparation wherein the food substance, usually a vegetable or fruit, is plunged into boiling water, removed after a brief, timed interval, and finally plunged into iced water or placed under cold running water (shocked) to halt the cooking process."

Yep, thats how we put up our sweet corn, broccolli and green beans from the garden. A few minute blanch in boiling water and then to an ice water bath.
