Sweet peppers




This year I am growing two kinds of sweet peppers, bell and lipstick. I've been picking them green, but if left on the vine, both of these types of peppers will turn red. I will leave some on the vine until they change color, but sometimes peppers will succumb to fungus or rot when left on the vine long enough to turn. Sweet peppers add flavor to just about any dish, but tonight I think I'll make a salsa combining peppers, purple onions, tomatoes, oranges, a little orange juice and cilantro. I'll serve it with striped bass if I can find any in the fish store.
