What Happened to My Orange Spice Jalapeno
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 жов 2024
- This is the third year I've grown Orange Spice Jalapeno. It's a tasty hot pepper. It has that familiar Jalapeno taste with a nice kick of citrus, fruity flavor. I also found them to be a little hotter. I saved seeds in 2022 and 2023.
I don't know which year's seeds I used to grow this year's plant(s) (only one plant made it). But I'm pretty darn confident there was not mix up. And yet...and yet, the resultant peppers do not look or taste like Orange Spice. My only answer is: hybridization, cross-pollination.
Check out the video and let me know what you think!!
P.S. This video started mainly as a taste test for two different peppers, Orange Spice Jalapeno AND Cascabella.

Brave lady 😮out there eating hot peppers with nothing to drink 😮
They are beautiful
Hey Bayou, good to see you. Well sadly I only had water inside so I turned to salted pecans in the hopes they might help. I like to think they did a little. Lol. It got even more interesting when I decided to taste a few hotter peppers... 🤔 Thank you, they are pretty aren't they? I'm really intrigued with the flavor of this strange hybrid. It has good sweetness but then a nice little pop of heat. Thank your for watching and commenting. 🙋♀️💜
So you unintentionally came up with an "orange slice" pepper? I really should harvest a ton of jalapeño seeds, I have about 50 ripe fruit that have those cracks all over them, telling me they're totally ready for seed saving. I love growing the plants, but even though I love the low heat level of jalapeños I only end up using a very small percentage of the ones I produce.
Ah "Orange Slice" that is a nice name. It tastes so much more like a Nardello and Cayenne combined, but last year I did grow both of those near my Orange Spice. Have you ever had a Peter Pepper? I harvested my first two recently and tasted one last night. Sweet but with a little heat; this is a similar pepper. However I'd say it's a little more sweet and has a little more heat. It's definitely nice. Now I just have to wait a whole year 😭 to grow the seeds from this plant, as well as more seeds from the batch I grew this plant from, and see what happens! At least that's my plan.
Yes I agree you should harvest your Jalapeno seeds! I wind up freezing a lot of my peppers. They're great to have in the winter when I make chili or even add to mashed potatoes. Do you make cowboy candy? I haven't yet but would love to. That and I'd like to try my hand at hot sauce and find some pepper dips. Perhaps you can experiment with some new recipes! 😁 Thanks for stopping by and chatting. 🙋♀️
@@theelpydimension Cowboy Candy & Chow Chow are two condiments(?) that I've never been the least bit interested in trying to make or eat, but I do want to see if I can make a hot sauce that would be extremely mild, like Frank's or similar. I didn't know about peter peppers until I read your reply.
I'll have to look up Chow Chow, though I swear I've hard of it. I've never had either but it sounds interesting to me. I would like to know if a refrigerator version can be made, I think I've only heard of it being canned.
A mile hot sauce sounds nice. Would you make it via fermentation? I have a hankering for experimenting with all the peppers I have. 🤔😄 I have a thing for experimenting with my food. Lol.
I heard about the Peter Pepper through Garden State Gardener (and Grow Big TV). If you don't know they have several challenges going for who can grow the biggest Peter Pepper, sunflower, beet, zucchini, Dr. Wyche's tomato and maybe a few others. Heck I might want to make sure I didn't miss the final deadline!! Lol. But it's my tallest plant and it's not a bad pepper, very mild heat, less than Jalapeno or low end Jalapeno. 🙋♀️
