question about peppers

i found a recipe that is calling for orange saraonos?? hope i got the name right.....ok here is the dumb question are they all different colors or is that just a stage of ripeness??

i will bow before the all knowing peppers and confess that i am dumb that i do not know the answer.
 
Do you mean serrano?

If so, I don't know of any serranos that ripen to orange. Doesn't mean there aren't any, just none that I know.
 
i was in a store (latino??) and i saw some that were red green and orange. i just didn't know if they were the same thing just ripened to a different level?????
 
oooooooh pam i just got word that i will be in south carolina cooking in april...first saturday in april i think. same place i was last year cheraw??
 
ok folks yall already know i am hot pepper stupid so here is the problem i got and i hope that yall can help me.
all the serranos i have been able to find in this area are green so i bought about 10 the other day and laid them out on the counter to see if i can get them ripe to orange. ok it looks like to me insted of ripening there turning to mush. should i put them in a brown paper bag is the light making them mushy?? i heard someone say somewhere mabey here about the brown bag thingy.
i guess what im looking to do in a nutshell is make green serranos from green to orange without them looking like a wrinkeld up old man...or is this the way they are suppose to do when they get ripe???
hhhhhhhhhheeeeeellllllllllppppppp i need 2 nice peppers for the international chili championship the first of november and im going crazy.
lol
thanks in advance for your help

They won't ripen off the vine.

Well, it does depend some on how close they were to starting to turn when they were picked. Some will just blush yellow before going bad, but some will develop a reasonable amount of color.
 
im going to stop and get a bannana but i gotta ask a stupid question. do you keep the bannana peel on or unpeel it....go ahead and call me stupid but i just dont know....lol
 
im thinking right now if i started to grow some and keep them on the vine longer and let them turn orange on the vine mabey they wont get as mushy as they are now. of course its getting cold now so i guess i could try and grow them indoors??
 
been searching around the internet to find seeds for serranos to try and start to grow and i found a peruvian serrano...is there different serranos? if there is a difference which is better serrano or peruvian serranos? anyone have some seeds i can buy??

There are all kinds of serranos, just check out my favorite non-Potawie pepper porn site.

If you read the descriptions, there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of differences between most of them. Find a variety that appeals to you, and lay on, MacDuff.

(Yes, I know you can't order from chileplants.com this time of year, I just like their purdy peeectures)
