Thanks,
I will try the green. I have found "red jalapenos" in some markets but
they
don't have the same shape. They have a pointy tip rather than a rounded
tip
so they may be a Fresno or something. The price is always about 3 times
more
than the green. At the major Hispanic markets they usually have 5 or more
bushels on display so I can weed through them and find a few turning.
Besides the price is less than half of what you would pay in a Gringo
market.
Does anyone have a tip on ripening? Room temperature? in a bag with a
banana? or just out in the open to shrivel up?


In a paper bag would be quicker, but they would still ripen on the counter.
