Would you recommend making a sauce, or should I string and dry them? Thanks for any help you can offer. A friend gave me a few cups of fish peppers and I’d like to put them to good use.

Can be taken inside in cold climates and the lant will survive many years turning into a shrub. I would say milder than jalapeno. Foliage is variegated as are the peppers, which ripen to red.

This year I was able to locate a couple of transplants at the <a href="http://www.veggiegardeningtips.com/pa-herb-garden-faire">Landis Valley Museum's Herb & Garden Faire</a>. Rachelle, the fruits of Fish Peppers are mild and not very spicy at all. Janet, because Fish Peppers are smaller and ripen faster than bell peppers you will probably harvest more of them, but if I could only plant one type in my garden I would definitely choose the bell pepper varieties over Fish Peppers.
