This says you have to peel and core the peppers but they don't come that way from the store do they? I bet you can leave hot peppers whole.

A bushel weighs 25 pounds and yields 20 to 30 pints--an average of 1 pound per pint. ------------------------------------------------------------ > Harry Boswell wrote: > > > If I plant jalapeno pepper plants, I will get jalapeno peppers. > > Just like the commercial producers.
