Flavor profiles

can anyone help make a list of peppers with citrus like flavors? i like sauces with fruit and peppers that fuse sweet and heat. someone told me that peppers with this flavor profile work best with pineapple, peach, etc. for sauces and glazes. thanks!
 
many types of true Aji peppers do such as
 
AJI LIMON
AJI LEMON DROP
AJI PINEAPPLE
AJI YELLOW
AJI LIMO
AJI COLORADO
AJI OMNI-COLOR
 
MOST SCOTCH BONNETS
WILD BRAZIL
 
Yellow Fatalii fits the citrus profile, but with heat that is almost approaching hab levels. Peach habanero is a milder hab as far as heat goes, but with a sweeter, fruitier flavor. It also lacks that "hab taste". Try it. It is well worth the grow.
 
-Hot Datil
-Sweet Datil

Basic datil sauce:
 
Peppers, ketchup, brown sugar, white sugar, vinegar.
 
You can get a little crazy and put in honey, mustard, worchestershire, onion...

It's a Saint Augustine Thang...

What is the difference between Aji Lemon and Aji Lemon Drop?
Click to expand...
Aji limon is more like a  lemony Habanero in flavor
 
Aji lemon Drop is a true Aji in every sense of the word citrus and lemony a touch of sweetness
 
pod shapes are different too, Aji Limon has wrinkles like a Scorpion and a bit hotter and the Aji Lemon drop is smoother and more elongated but still quite hot, i personally like the Aji Lemon Drop better myself(makes great jelly)
there is some misconception that there the same pepper, its be my experience that they are not
does this help a little?
 
thanks your friend Joe
 
I have gotten two labeled differently that looked thes same. Elongated, yellow, "oval" in shape  (or I guess you can say "flat")  but both had a banana pepper taste.
 
Looked just like this:

Hmmm.
