PEPPER (HOT)
Chicken Heart

This rare and unusual pepper is an Amish heirloom from Pennsylvania Dutch country. It's a gorgeous yellow and has a burning, fruity flavor. This centuries old prize is hard to find. These hot little beauties are used almost exclusively in pickled form by the PA Dutch, although they also cook and puree the peppers to make a "pepper vinegar" similar to Tabasco sauce. Prolific, long-season plants. Very ornamental, on compact 1 1/2 to 2' tall bushes. Very resistant to all bugs and disease. Also very cold hardy for a pepper, they grow well until hard frost.
