I don’t have the blog done yet for today, but I want you to understand your peppers. The shorter, fatter ones are a sweet variety called “Lipstick”. The longer, skinnier ones are called “Sugar Chile”. They are sweet with hot ribs, so you can control your spiciness.
Beware–if you remove the ribs with your fingers, they will burn. So wear gloves and don’t touch your face!! The outsides of the fruits are only very slightly spicy and delicious.
Thanks for the warning! What have you made with the sugar chilies? Would you substitute them for jalapenos or use them totally differently?
Use them like a bell pepper. I sautéed some with other veggies and they were much milder than jalapeño. But my fingers burned from the de-ribbing. Really tasty!
I don`t think I`m getting “the blog”, does it get sent to everyone? or just face book folks?
