I made hot sauce with these peppers, and they are the perfect heat. They’re about 3-5 times spicier than jalapenos, but not as spicy as habaneros, which I was experimenting with before and were just too spicy to get any flavor in.
I included pics because the name on the package, as you can see, is just “finger long hot red pepper”. They might be cayenne, but they don’t have the smoke I associate with cayenne.
I tried fermenting these and some fried asparagus together, then blended them in with 3 parts brine, 2 parts apple cider and 2 parts rice wine vinegar. I think next time I’ll go for 4 parts rice wine vinegar to 2 parts apple cider and 2 parts brine, because it’s not quite astringent enough, but I’m pretty happy with it.
