Hot Peppers
I have a lot of hot peppers (habenero, Thai and Cayenne) that are still
green. We should be getting a frost very soon..in the next few days. Can I just pick all of them and use them green or is there a way to get them to ripen up after being picked? Either way they will probably make a good sauce. Thanks, John |

Green peppers are edible - bell peppers, serranos, and the long, New Mexican style peppers are commonly sold red or green. They may not be at full heat, and they'll certainly lack full flavor (and the corresponding flavonoids and other anti-oxidants) but you should be able to pick and freeze them, or use them in a big batch of salsa.

Hot Peppers
I would wait until you get your frost and then pick and freeze them. Do
not be fooled by their innocent appearance. I have never found a recipe that called for more than a half habanero. The little green habaneros woill make you wish that you had never bit into them. They will bring you to your knees. Ice cream will help, but it melts if you sit on it too long. - Bill In article , Jon Shemitz wrote: John wrote: I have a lot of hot peppers (habenero, Thai and Cayenne) that are still green.

I pull the plants out of the ground and hang them upside down in a place where the plants will not freeze. The chilies continue to rippen. _________________ John Henry Wheeler Washington, DC USDA Zone 7 |
