My poor 7 pots didn't quite make it in time - it's chilly now and the plants are losing their leaves. They only just started producing peppers a couple weeks ago so everything is still green! I'd hate to lose two entire plants of peppers just because they're green (I was hoping to make a batch of super hot 7 pot jelly with them). I know habs are better when they're ripe, so I was wondering about the 7 pots. Will they be any good for jelly-making, or should I accept defeat and try again next year?
If they are okay for jelly-making, how many would you recommend using? My recipe makes anywhere from 8-10 jars of jelly and uses 4 cups of crushed strawberry. Would 1 whole 7 pot (without seeds) be good, would 3 be crazy? I for reference, I use 6 jalapeños in my usual recipe.
