Peppers for pickled yellow hot peppers?

Tracydr · February 26, 2012

My husband loves hot pickled chili peppers. Brand name is Mezzetta. The chili is small, sort of jalapeño shaped and yellow.
Any idea what kind of pepper this is? I'd like to grow it, since peppers grow easily here and pickling is so simple.
Thanks!

Are you talking about these: http://www.mezzetta.com/our-products...-chili-peppers

They say Cascabel, but they don't look like the Cascabel peppers I know. What I know as Cascabel looks like a mini bell pepper.

I think it is Cascabella. Those are the ones I love. Usually pickled in the yellow stage. http://www.tomatogrowers.com/CASCABE...ductinfo/9218/

Yes, that's exactly the bottle that I'm talking about.

Jalaro maybe? Yellow jalapenos from TGS. I grow them every year - delicious fresh & pickled w/ or w/o carrots.

I saw something like a yellow jalapeño at the grocery yesterday. Larger than these, but maybe.
This sounds very close.

You might want to look at tabasco peppers. I see them pickled all the time. I puree and strain mine and pickle the jalapenos.

A quick search on the pepper forums has people claiming they're actually Cascabella peppers. Ferry Morse has them this year, you may find them on the seed racks in Lowes or Home Depot or someplace like that.

I don't think that's what they are. But, maybe? I guess it wouldn't hurt to try, I'm sure they're probably tasty anyway.

Not sure myself as I haven't grown them. Supposedly they start out yellow and ripen to red, so they're picking the immature ones for pickling, which isn't uncommon.

On a similar note...does anyone know the pepper variety of the tiny peppers in the bottles at Steak-n-Shake?

If it is the standard blunt tip thin peppers that are commonly bottled for hot sauce, get some Super Chili. If they are the long thin peppers 4 to 5 inches long with a sharp tip, they are probably cayenne.

Around here the tiny peppers in the bottles at Steak-n-Shake are tabasco peppers.

You know, I thought so-but I'm so used to seeing them red. I guess they pickle them when they're immature.

I see a lot of yellow tabasco peppers pickled in vinegar around here. It gets used on cooked greens and is simply called pepper sauce. It's like a hot, spicy vinegar and is great on collards, turnip greens, and even on my fried cabbage.
