We grow all of our vegetables and since few years we started growing spicy peppers as well. Our most beloved ones at this point are Habanero and some sort of regular looking Mexican chili pepper brought to us by a friend who was there on a business trip.
I personally fell in love with Habanero because of its fruity notes. It’s not a pepper I eat fresh often but we make a nice sweet sauce from it that is used way too much in our household.
As am preparing slowly for the next season, I’d love to hear some suggestions on what I should try next. I’d prefer to try peppers with some characteristic taste. I already have my eyes set on Aji Lemon, Sugar Rush Peach, Golden Nuggets. We prefer medium spicy peppers but I’ve had hotter. I just dislike hot for the sake of hot.
I was just looking at a local spice shop’s offering, and was reminded of Bird’s Eye Chili (50,000-100,000 SHU). I like mixing different chili’s in my sauces. :-) It’s a fun time of year to be thinking about planting; my view out the window is a garden white with snow.
Well, I have to take into account long delivery times and potential issues. Also, this is about the time when pods are dried and seeds are ready. :) So yeah. No snow here, sadly.
