Because of its medium heat level, fruity flavor, and the unique appearance of the pods, Mad Hatter peppers are a great addition to any garden. The body of the peppers have very little heat and the wings are sweet and mild, making them a popular pepper for mild salsa and pickling. But the time for tomatoes and peppers is right NOW. The Mad Hatter pepper, also known as Bishop's Crown, is a very uniquely shaped mild pepper. I am also doubling up the posts for today, not that I want to punish myself (it does take an amount of time to get a post up and out the door, so to speak). As I said, it is not spicy hot, but that can be easily remedied in a hot wing sauce. I can use this on the crackers as in the photos or spread it on something like chicken, thin it into a dipping sauce or incorporate it into something else, maybe even as a sauce for Buffalo wings. Having both tomatoes and peppers on hand lent to the idea of just making some jam. You can easily swap them out with bell pepper in a recipe, although I daresay the Mad Hatters are superior. They are shaped a little bit like habanero but taste nothing like them at all and are bigger as well. They look wicked evil but are actually quite sweet and used often in Bolivian and Peruvian cuisine. Since I also had some peppers called Mad Hatter that we wanted to grow on speculation this year. Those will be wonderful later if I want some cheese spreads with dried tomatoes, or I can always pop them into a soup. Those cherry tomatoes aren’t canning size, and there are just so many one can eat on a salad.

My tomatoes and peppers are still coming in from the garden at full speed. Still finding uses for the garden harvest! This is a savory and not too sweet jam with uses appropriate for crackers with cheese, on chicken and fish, or as an ingredient in sauces and spreads.Īlthough it contains peppers, the type used are like bell peppers and not spicy like jalapeno jam. My recipe of the day is for tomato pepper jam. Tomato Pepper Jam By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Control aphids during the growing season.Savory and sweet jam made with tomatoes and sweet peppers make a perfect condiment alongside meat or dalloped on a cracker with chevre cheese. Choose a warm sandy soil with lots of sun. Do not transplant outside until the nights warm up in mid June. Plants grow too slowly for outdoor seeding in northern areas. Control cutworms before planting.ĭIRECT SOWING: Sow as above no later than Apr. Early cold June nights cause blossoms to drop off before pollination, producing huge bushy plants without peppers. TRANSPLANT into the field 12-18 in/30-45 cm apart in 30 in/75 cm rows after June 15th. Keep the plant warm and encourage growth with liquid fertilizer feedings every 2 weeks. Never let the plants wilt! Root systems are sensitive and rather slow growing so any check in growth will cost you dearly in total yields. Keep peppers in a well ventilated area and maintain a night greenhouse temp. Grow seedlings 70☏/20☌, reduce moisture slightly to harden off. Transplant seedlings into benches or flats when the true leaves are about 3/8 in/10 mm in diameter. Cover seed flats or benches with plastic to conserve moisture, remove covering as soon as germination occurs. Sow as thinly as possible for healthier seedlings. Sow seed about 0.25 in/6 mm deep 8 seeds per in/25 mm, cover and firm lightly.
Germinate in Jiffy Mix or sterilized soil 70☏/20☌ soil temp. GREENHOUSE: Sow in hot beds, greenhouse benches or flats from Feb. 1/2 lb/227 gr of seed is required for an acre of transplants
