I chopped up some habanero jack cheese and stuffed some Fresno, Jalapeno and Manzano peppers with cream cheese and butter and spiced them up with my homemade cherry ghost/reaper hot sauce/powder, garlic, onion, green peppers, some Tony's and wrapped in bacon of course ... Delicious!

I will most definitely eat and enjoy these regardless of what they are. I may even try to overwinter or save some seeds and grow out the (potentially) bastard plant if it's worth it!

So I guess in all my excitement I missed the fact that there are 3 total bright red peppers and one is fairly large... Is it safe to assume this is a hybrid plant? Lol

Hi All! I'm hoping some of the more experienced growers can help me figure this one out. I have 2 normal hab plants in a container that I bought as starts from a local nursery. I went to check on them this morning and found several nice hab peppers starting to form along with 1 tiny BRIGHT red...

Yeah only time will tell. I've harvested a few seeds from our local stores for this year's grow. I wish our Kroger carried manzanos, although I don't mind driving across town every now and then. They have a nice selection of dried peppers too, guajillo, pasilla, ancho, mulato, etc. to make a...

That gives me hope. I actually saved some seeds from other manzanos so hopefully they will like our 6a/5b summer temps!

No clue what that is but if it tastes like a Manzano I'm in lol Hopefully they were grown in a very green, organic and forward-thinking area of Mexico where they don't irradiate fruit!

I wonder if this giant manzano will produce giant offspring or if this is just some fluke of a mad scientist that grows and sells these to our local Latin Market where I can get them year 'round...? I guess I'll have to wait 8 months to find out! Assuming of course that I don't kill them before...

Thats awesome!! At $3/lb I would probably buy 20 lbs lol. Im planning on going back next week to pick up a bunch more and definitely save the seeds to grow next year. My first attempt at growing this year was pretty good but I killed my reaper and scorpion plants pretty early on.

Thanks all! No matter what they are Ill be happy, especially at $15/lb lol. I live in Fort Wayne and am just excited to be able to find this stuff locally! Hopefully next year Ill be able to grow some more exotic peppers than just habs and thais...

Yes maam! Would you recommend freezing them whole without slicing/de-seeding? I just threw all that I had in the dehydrator for now lol. I re-read the preservation thread and others but wanted to make sure I understand...

Im not too far from Franklin. Ive only lived here for 2 years so I guess I need to explore more of the state. At least I know I can get some great super hots close by!

So I just discovered the local Farmers Market here in NE Indiana and I was surprised at how many crazy pepper varieties they had! Especially since most people here think Jalapeños are the hottest pepper lol So I got the following peppers for $8! Reapers, Choc 7 pot, mustard hab, scorpion...

Yup after I read that I went to go check it out a little more in depth and it's definitely more purple than brown.

I love to throw some into a blender with a few habs, soy sauce, worcestershire, garlic, onion, ginger, pineapple juice (and a few slices of pineapple), a big sweet orange, and maybe a few other things I have laying around in the fridge, throw it in a pot on the stove and add some brown sugar and...
