OTHER: Jamaican Hot is a wrinkly squash-shaped Scotch bonnet type pepper from Jamaica. They are popular in Caribbean cooking, used in jerk dishes, sauces, & more. They are indeed a hot pepper with an SHU (Scoville Heat Units) rating of 100,000 - 200,000, but with a delightful fruity flavor not found in other peppers. The Jamaican Red is not as spicy as the Jamaican Yellow. Enjoy the 2” x 1 1/2" peppers fresh, cooked, or pickled. These prolific plants produce up to 50 peppers per plant!
