These are Zitava sweet peppers, apparently perfectly edible as is though they’re not very fleshy, but I’ve grown them specifically to make paprika, and in today’s case, smoked paprika. I’ve never done this before so I’m quite excited to see how it turns out.
The halved pods have gone into my “Mark One” cold smoker to be oak-smoked for a few hours. Once they’re done I’ll put them in the dehydrator and when they’re dry, grind them into powder.
