Which Cooking Are You?

Hatch peppers have an oddly wide range of heat apparently. These were quite mild because I ate a chunk raw to check them out. I ended up with three large hatch and three large jalapeño even though I started with two each. The flavor is very good and I'm hoping it will only be better tomorrow after sitting overnight.

You can force a pepper to get hotter. If you stress a pepper plant after blossoming, it will produce more capsaicin.

You can also grow a jalapeno next to a habanero, and the second generation will cross pollinate, therefore making a hotter Jalapeno, and possibly milder habanero.
