I love making jalapeño poppers on the smoker, but the price of the jalapeños is a bit out of control - $30kg at Coles, and pretty poor quality most of the time.
Is there anywhere in Sydney selling fresh jalapeños cheaply?

Sydney produce market Flemington.
Or grow some plants, they are an easy plant to grow.I have seen them consistently cheaper at Harris farm.
Not by a lot though. They are generally $24 a kilo if I recall correctly.
I did see that, still, would like to find a way to buy a few kilos at a time without it costing close to $100
Yeah my guess would be to try and get in contact from members of the Mexican community in your area.
You could also try asking a local restaurant if they would be able to source some through their wholesaler for you.
I think El Guapo Cantina in Neutral Bay have them. Highly recommend that place.
Funnily enough, a friend owns that place and I didn't even think to ask them.
Really? Your mate is doing damn fine work in that case!
Forgot to mention it’s a restaurant so it’s probably not on the cheaper side.
You could probably find these frozen, I think I saw them in Costco a while ago.. maybe seasonal though.
Yeah, I've been meaning to go for quite some time, but life, kids, work, etc… I've heard it's pretty great through other sources.
If you've got a spot in your yard it's not too late in the season to grab a couple Jalapeno plants from Bunnings. I make poppers too and I've got 4 jalapeno plants going in the backyard atm and I'm about to have more than I can eat, pity I'm in Melb.
I’ll take ‘em, thanks
Pickle them, what I used to do. Basically boil with vinegar, herbs, garlic. jalapeno all year round, taste much better than ones you buy.
Awesome, great idea!
