pikevi: Those Hungarian peppers are great
"sissy" peppers, but I love them too. Don't go growing a bunch of habeneros. They're ridiculously hot. Just breathing the fumes from cutting them will almost kill you. If you do grow a few, dry the pods. Later, you can keep some for spices and crush some and put the seeds in a bottle of water for spraying around (not ON) your plants. Keeps out the squirrels, rabbits, & your relatives, who drop in on you unexpectedly.
Jalapenos are really easy to grow and if you remove the seeds (with gloves) you get a more sane hotness that seems to fit with most of us HOT LOVERS, that is, red hot chilli pepper lovers. Or, maybe I did mean,
Red Hot Lovers.
Jalapenos make great jelly too. I make it every year. Serve it with crackers & cream cheese & a dollop of jalapeno jelly. My sister & I made several cases a year to raise money for the homeless in Chicago. It was always a great hit, but each time we'd make another batch, they'd say, "make it hotter!" So the moral of the story is: You can adjust how much heat you get with jalapenos depending on how many
seeds you include in your recipes. You have to be totally insane to eat habeneros!
