Hot Pepper, Targu Mures (Organic)

Capsicum annuum. Hot. 70 days.

A Transylvanian hot paprika pepper from Târgu Mureș, Romania. We found this variety to be unbelievably productive and early to ripen. However the best part is its flavor which is medium hot and very rich. Serrano shape and size but with thin walls, making it good for drying. Makes delicious pepper flakes that are excellent for flavoring sausage and stews. After seeding, we put some in our dehydrator and it filled the house with a delicious aroma that other varieties sometimes lack. Original seed received from the Seed Savers Heritage Farm collection and we thank them for preserving it. Aka, Tg. Mures.

Geographical Origin

,

Sow indoors in flats with good potting soil as early as February, but no later than April. Keep warm and well-watered. Up pot seedlings into 4” pots when they have their first two true leaves. Transplant out into the garden after danger of frost has passed, typically late May in western Oregon.

Seed Saving

To save seed, wait until fruit is fully ripe. Remove seeds from fruit and dry. Isolate from other pepper varieties of the same species by at least 500 feet.

    Nice paprika-style hot pepper

    Where did you grow this variety? Oregon

    We didn’t think much of this pepper until we had them dried. The plants were the smallest of our pepper patch and got a bit overwhelmed by some of the others, but they had two distinct rounds of production during a cool Oregon summer. As a fresh pepper, they don’t have much flesh, and the flavor is good, but nothing special. But they really shine once they head to the dehydrator (or hang dry, if your climate allows)! The first thing you notice is how amazing they smell. They don’t get wrinkly when dried like other peppers do, so the skin is smooth and shiny, with striations of deep red. We recommend toasting the dried peppers in a dry pan, then crushing or grinding onto pizza, or kale, or popcorn, or whatever!

    I grew these the first time last year. The plants grew very tall between rows of tomatoes. The pods dried easily and they can be used as chili flakes. They are hot but not scorchers.
    I’ve got a few growing this year as well along with about a dozen pepper varieties.
