Contact ajijoe he had some peppadont which is a bigger version of peppadew.
I am familiar with Peppadew. Not sure if you were aware, or willing, but Ebay.co.uk has a couple of sellers. The AjiJoe Peppadont that rebelgrower mentioned sounds like a winner as well.

I've also grown a related Baccatum variety in the past, The Aji Chanca Red and Yellow. I like the yellow one best but both were superb, sweet, unique and a little kick. They are vigorous plants with lots of pods, excellent picklers that maintain their Baccatum flavor. You would want to place your order(s) and sowe the seeds no later than February, this way you'll have two crops, August and September. They are cold weather tolerant and overwinter nicely with minimal light and care.

Thanks.
I've bought from one of those sellers before, but had zero germinate. I might try the other seller, or other varieties mentioned, if I can find them. It sounds like there are a lot of good seeds available in the USA, but I wonder if I order from overseas, there's a risk of them being taken by customs here in the UK.
That jar of Reds and Yellows looks really nice BTW. I find Peppadews almost addictive!

TY Simon. The seller i linked is in Australia, he will ship to the UK. You can purchase seed from his website, or his Ebay store.
Many of us have been buying from John the Chilli Man for years.
Edit: almost forgot, I cannot confirm but a couple of people have claimed that the Malawi baccatum is very similar as well: http://www.123seeds.com/subpagina.php?insect=&merken_id=34&categorie_id=40&subcategorie_id=112&produkt_id=2750

Four out of the first five seeds have germinated, and they sent me a bag of smoked Paprika as a free gift!!
I'm tempted to try the Aji Chanca if I can find them - but I do feel there are just too many peppers to grow - and not enough space :-)
