The mysterious "Peppadew" pepper - Page 5

I think most of the hype for this pepper comes from the brine...The first time I sampled some at a catering I couldn't quit eating them....we were sopping the juice up with french bread after the peppers were gone....
I bet there must be some OP peppers with a bit of zing that could wear the brine just as well as peppadews...
Thanks for the info on cane vinegar Earl...I like to make relish/sauces with a bit of vinegar and will try that in some this season...

Reviving a mediocre old thread here...I went to the local Whole Foods Market here and noticed that they had a Peppadew pepper in deli island. It says they are from South Africa. I bought some and tried them out, I must say, these are really really good. I had to force myself to quit eating them. I was surprised at just how much they clean these peppers out. I'll be going back for more.
