Last spring I bought a pepper plant not knowing it was a hot pepper variety. It bore a lot of bright red “fruit”. When there was the first risk of frost I harvested them and took them inside. They were too hot to use in large quantities so I put them in a wood bowl and let them dry out. They have shriveled and taken a variety of hues from deep plum to orange…I have brought them company in the person of some garlic cloves…
