Peppers for pickled yellow hot peppers?
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: [URL]http://www.mezzetta.com/our-products/detail/hot-chili-peppers[/URL]
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. |
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.

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 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.

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. |
So far, looks like the closest is jalaro or cascabella. The description on both, however, seems too large. The jar does say cascabella, but these are about 1.5 inches long. Mildly hot.
Perhaps the company has their own hybrid? Or, harvesting immature, at a certain size? |
Only other thing I can think of is the Sport pepper - shaped like a Tabasco but larger - thinner walled than the Jalaros but definitely up to 1 1/2 inches long when still yellow. Hot but not killer - Used in Chicago area pickled but chopped - on hotdogs (Fabulous BTW). I like them pickled - we I had a jar but last grew them in quantity in 2009. Worth growing FWI.
