Yellow chilli peppers

[veggiechicken]

Advice needed please
Dai the Jam has asked me to grow for him some yellow chilli peppers to make chilli pepper jelly. I am a complete chilli novice so can you recommend an easy to grow and prolific variety please.

Yellow chillies are not as common as red, and I've never grown them myself. Hungarian Wax is one, and there is one (Aji) on this site Chilli peppers Grow your own chillies from seed

Fatalli. Hot and yellow.

Or of course my favourite Gelbe Kirschen - but the seeds are much harder to find.

Fatalii. But given that my first fruit is almost ready and the other varieties sown at the same time have been cropping for 4-6 weeks it may not be right for jamming. Lovely hot chilli though.

I had great success with Lemon Drop from Real Seeds (and they're reduced right now)

Thanks Folks More good news - Fatalli and Lemon Drop are in the VSP
Time to do a little seed sorting and exchange, I think!
BTW, Dai wants yellow chillis because Jamie O. has a Hot yellow pepper jelly and he wants to make his own version.
Just found the ingredients list for JO's product - a bit confusing though Ingredients:
SUGAR, CIDER VINEGAR, 120G YELLOW PEPPERS (13%), WATER, HABANERO CHILLIES (1%), GELLING AGENT: FRUIT PECTIN.
It looks as if the yellow peppers are sweet peppers with Habanero's giving the heat.
However, yellow chillis would make it even more YELLOW

i'd agree Fatalli but stick to the 1% as in the recipe as they are hot,hot,hot
iv'e just picked some Jamaican Jerk chilli which is yellow and @100,000 SHU is a tad warm but the aroma and flavour beat the Fatalli, a lovely citrus orangey/lemon flavour
hoping to have some seeds available for the VSP

[veggiechicken]

Sounds good, TLO I'll hang back on the VSP for a while

[northepaul]

Have you got the seeds VC? I have some if not, let me know

[veggiechicken]

Thanks for the offer Thea. I don't have any of the seeds - I don't grow chillis as a rule - but Dai the Jam asked so nicely
Maybe next year I'll try a few varieties and see what happens. He'll turn them into something. Yesterday we tried his Smoked chilli chutney, Feisty Apricot chutney, Chilli jam and something else, they all went down well with a communal mound of chips for dunking

I don't grow chillis as a rule

What????

Are you nuts.....

They are the No.1 priority in this garden

You're seriously asking me if I'm nuts How much proof do you need

You can get a yellow habanero called Big Sun.

My first year growing Lemon Drop chillis, and the first one is just ripening and ready to pick now, compared to lots and lots of reds I've already picked, and also not as prolific as the reds I've grown either.

Might perform better with better weather tho, and definately very yellow.

I grow a yellow cayenne chilli each year, they are very prolific and are hot but not 'hab' hot and ripen to a lovely colour. send me a pm
