More about my chili peppers (Part 2)

It's been a while since I wrote the Part 1. I waited for so long for a reason... But the weather messed up a little, so I couldn't wait anymore.

So the third type of chili I thought it was "Red Habanero". But now I am a little confused. Why may you ask yourself? Let me tell you the whole story. When the pods started growing, they started with small green peppers.

I think that the tomato was a little bad neighbor because it took most of the sun for himself and the little chili plant couldn't get enough sun. So the pods remained green, but they were still growing. I wishfully waited and hoped for a warm September, but I didn't have much luck. It started raining, and the temperatures lowered down. Because of that, I think my chili plant just started hibernating. So I decided, that I won't wait anymore. I picked still green chili pods and take them in our kitchen. I was still considering what to do. Do I want to wait for a little and leave them in a box for a while and hoping that they will change color, but at the same time risking that they will start to rot? Or I should just try to pickle the green ones... The decision was made. I will try to pickle them and fingers crossed they won't taste funny afterward.

I put the pot on the stove, pour in some vinegar and waited for the vinegar to boil. In the meantime, I washed the pods and dried them with a kitchen towel. When the liquid boiled I put them in and looked at the clock.

I left them in a boiling water for 3 minutes, then I took them out and put them in an empty jar. I reheated the vinegar so it started boiling again and then pour the liquid over the chilies (so they were completely covered). I put some whole black pepper seeds in to add some flavor and then covered with a lid.

I turned the jar around and wrap it tightly with a warm blanket.

I left it like that for almost two days, so the jar completely cooled down. And now they are waiting still to be tasted from one chili lover from our family. :)

So with the end of this project, when I was preparing to write this blog I started browsing the web, so I could find the photos of a fully developed "Red habaneros" for comparison. And that's when it got confusing. All the red ones looked a little different from my own.

So now I'm asking all the chili experts to give me the opinion. Are my green chilies type "Red habanero" or the "Bishop's crown"? The difference between the types you can see in the photos above...

More photos I found while searching on web page. Feel free to browse if you want to help me a little.

Thank you in advance. Have a great day/evening.

P.s. In Part 3 I will tell you about my last chili plant. But now this dilema is still bugging me a little. :)

P.p.s photos are made by me with my phone a few days ago.
