We have several bakeries close by who put their day-old baking on sale each day. Try it in 1999. Visitors, admiring my house plants, suddenly realize some healthy greenery belongs to large pepper plants, several with peppers almost ready to pick. Just before the first frost I lift the pots and place them in a sunny window. A month before they are put outside again, the plants are given fertilizer to stimulate growth.
Friends hold a sauce-making party, followed by a spaghetti dinner.
Each couple goes home with 6-8 jars of spicy sauce. Neighbourhood and grandchildren love these. Choose one or two, then frame them nicely. Frames need not be expensive. Check out your local big box store or make them from twigs or cardboard and tinfoil, wrapping paper or cloth.
