We grew the plant by accident, and while the usual harvest is just a handful at a time, they taste really fresh and great.

    Sweet pepper relish. Someone donated a lot of them to me last year. Five different varieties. I made some relish, canned it and gave them some. So tasty on Italian sausage sandwiches.

    Pepper Piper Perri?

    Well done. Small thing of one color surrounded by larger yet similar things of another color, and the alliteration. This has got to be intentional.

      It’s hard to get grocery store size bell peppers in a home garden. Plenty of people (me included) also like to grow small varieties of some veggies. If a plant can get me 4 huge tomatoes or 50 tiny ones, I’d rather have the tiny ones cause there ends up being less waste if a pest gets into one.

        I’ve grown many a bell pepper, never have I had one that looked like a jalapeño. I think you are mistaken.

            Those are sweet peppers, different from bell peppers.

            This is what bell peppers look like.

              That must be a language thing, cause I would call any pepper that’s not spicy a bell pepper. Whoever wrote the Wikipedia article on bell peppers said

              bell pepper is the only member of the genus Capsicum, that does not produce capsaicin

              So if it’s not spicy, it’s a bell pepper (at least where I live), but they can be in different forms. Not that any of that matters.

                Ha I was about to post a similar thing - there are colloquial differences for sure. I’ve heard bell peppers called sweet bell peppers in the Deep South. And in op’s defense, some people say bell peppers are spicy in their opinion. AND there are varieties of jalapeño that can have little to no heat in flavor so, that may not be a measure to go by. But a jalapeño does have a different flavor from a bell pepper, heat notwithstanding.

                But like you said, it doesn’t matter. Just eat them because they taste good!

        Yeah I’ve grown both bells and jalapeños and a variety of others and size is not what has me saying those are jalapeños, it’s their shape.

    What you do is rough chop your jalapeños, put them in a Mason jar, cover them in honey (to about half, just enough to coat them all) then add a fermentation weight. After about 10 minutes or so the air bubbles will work out and then fill your jar. Cover with a cloth, fermentation lid, or regular lid (just make sure you burp it every day or so), and put it in a cool, dry place for a month or so. Test at that point and make sure there’s no mold. If no mold, you’re good. The longer you set, the more heat you get.

    It’s fantastic, goes great on pizza, bbq, anything where you need to cut some fatty/greasy flavors.

    Edit: here’s a set of instructions to follow
