Hmmm...!!! My jalapenos (of whichever variety) are nowhere near fruiting yet, BUT, Aldi had bagged jalapeno peppers, ~3-1/2” to almost 5” long, 8 oz. for $1.00, a couple days ago, so I grabbed a bag. I figured even if we don’t use them all, I’ll get seeds galore out of the deal, and then I get to see if they grow true. ;-)

I guess I could also try (lesser amounts?) of Cowhorn peppers in a couple months, if someone wants to taste test the recipe with “real heat”. I don’t think I’d even try those ridiculously hot Thai peppers I grow for wifey. Clint (Eastwood) Candy?

Jung’s had a great not-so-hot-but-very-flavorful pepper called, ‘Sweet Heat.’ It might be in the Totally Tomatoes Catalog...?

I grow that on years when I’ve been requested to make the Cowboy Candy for those that don’t like it even to the not-so-hot-IMHO flavor of Jalapenos.

Pepper Joe’s has it, too:

But that Jalapeno & Pineapple combo just trips my trigger! :)
