How does one know when a green pepper is ripe?
Um, aren't big jim's supposed to turn red when ripe?
Big Slim or Big Jim............That chili looks like its starting to turn color which is just past where I'd pick it. No problem at that state or letting it turn red. But I prefer to pick the pods while they still feel firm and at the point where the growing has stopped. I like the crunch to the green pod but more so the fact that I like to roast them on the grill. Strips of those peppers or the "Hatch" and the standard "Anaheim" taste great on burgers when roasted and peeled into strips...............quality Ground Aged Beef or Bison............a must for a great burger
