Jalapeños and hot peppers: when it's in season and what to cook
Jalapeños and hot peppers are usually at their best from July to October across much of the US. That includes now.
How to pick it
Choose firm, smooth, shiny peppers. Wear gloves when cutting hot ones.
How to keep it
Refrigerate in a paper bag for a week or two, or freeze whole.
Months are when each item is usually at its best across much of the US. Seasons start earlier in warm places and later in cool ones, and they shift from year to year, so your local farm stand or market is the best guide.
