SALSARIFIC SERRANO


Serrano peppers are smaller and hotter than the well-known Jalapeno! The bushy plants have abundantly, 2 inch long bullet-shaped fruits. Use these chili peppers in stir fries, for grilling, or to add color and spice to my favorite cooked dishes. They are also used in sauces, stews, chili recipes, or in mole sauce. Thin skin, medium-thin walls and crisp, biting-hot flavor, make this pepper a favorite in fresh salsas. To achieve the perfect tasting salsa with sweet, salty, sour and spicy flavors, try different combinations of: tomato, onion, pepper, garlic, salt, lime juice or vinegar, pinches of sugar, fresh parsley, mint, basil and oregano. For best results plant in full sun and feed with a liquid or slow release fertilizer.
