I know that some of you don't like bell peppers. I like bell peppers, and so do hubby and my son. When we went shopping for plants for our gardens, I wanted bell pepper plants, but the greenhouse didn't have any. Hubby doesn't care for spicy foods, our son is only so-so on them, and I like them. Thus we ended up with Italian Roaster Peppers, which are supposed to be long, red, sweet peppers.
The plants grew and blossomed beautifully, and healthy looking peppers grew. We waited for them to turn red. And waited.
The time to harvest had been exceeded, and hubby suggested we pick one. I sliced from the bottom and took a piece. Tasted just like a bell pepper. Yum. I continued cutting and picked up another piece and popped it in my mouth. A little spicy...hmm...continued chopping, picked one up, took a bite....HOT!!!
Two glasses of water later, it occured to me that someone must have mislabeled the jalapeno peppers as italian roaster peppers. Not cool. Hot, as a matter of fact.
Not quite sure what we'll do with so many jalapenos, considering my family's lack of desire to actually have fresh jalapenos...Wonder if anyone has any bell peppers to trade?

Yipes! Try making jalepeno pepper jelly and give it to friends who like the spicy for Christmas?
If I had bell peppers, I would gladly trade you. ;)
If you trim out all the seeds and membrane from the inside of the jalepenos they really are not spicy at all. You might at least be able to use them for cooking anyway.
Liz has a great idea!
Mmmmm. Salsa! :-)
Oh god. I hate peppers of all kinds. Just thinking about inadvertently eating a jalapeno makes me want to gag.
I am a fan of neither, so I can't help you. You might want to try the Pioneer Woman's jalapeno bacon thingies, though. It's the only recipe that has made large chunks of jalapeno palatable for me!
