This is a chili pepper.
Since the season has been really mild, I've finally gotten my first ripe chiltepin pepper. Bad news - my bush is filled with probably 100 non ripe ones. I think they are all going to come ripe at once. Which is a bummer. These are super hot.
Can you dry the extras and use them later? Or are you one of those people (like the Green Magpie) who likes the "live" pain induced by a fresh hot pepper? That's just beyond comprehension for me, BTW. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I will have no choice.
ReplyDeleteI do like the fresh pain though. Mr S - not so much.
