Took some time before they became ripe. I remember taking a small one off and that one was quite bitter. I don't know how green jalapeno are supposed to taste and pods didn't all form at the same time. I know most people prefer them green. How do I know when to harvest them? So far I think it's best to wait till they are red. Will make them hotter, softer and less bitter.
Haven't tried one yet. I think I will put the partial red ones on pizza tomorrow.
For next year I have various Habanero, Aji Umba red, Chihuacle Negro and some supermarket Cayenne. Any suggestions what to add to that? As a vegetarian I like to make dishes made out of pure vegetables. Another milder pepper with good taste may be nice. I hear Chihuacle Negro has quite a peculiar taste but I don't know how it compares to Poblano and other similar peppers. Something that is quite fleshy and not merely a bell pepper with mild hotness would be nice.
Any suggestions?
