Turn frequently to blister the chiles evenly. Watch them carefully so that they don't overcook. The skin does not have to blacken to become loose; if it wrinkles when you push it with the tongs, the chile has been blistered enough. If you have a large number of chiles to put up, outdoor grilling is an excellent method. The chiles will blister quickly and take on a smoky flavor. Roast the peppers on an open grill over hot coals, about 4 to 6 inches from the flame. Watch the chiles carefully and turn frequently.
Moths deposit eggs on chiles, and as they hatch, the larvae tunnel into the chile pod. Eggs hatch four to five days after being laid, and this is the most appropriate time for control measures. Spray plants with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), sold commercially as Dipel. Flea beetles (Epitrix species) Seeded chiles are subject to attack by flea beetles when the cotyledons (the first leaves to appear after seed germination) emerge. These black beetles are about 1/8 inch long. Young plants are severely damaged and full of holes.
