The seeds for Aleppo pepper were generously shared. This was the first year I tried it.
This single plant was grown in a raised bed in full sun. It has many fruits on it.
I plan to let them ripen and dehydrate and grind to use as a pepper seasoning in foods.
An interesting side note, the last batch of peppers were brined overnight before drying. The ground pepper offers a salty pepper blend which is very tasty.

I lucked into the seeds to grow this pepper, which are rather rare and hard to find. It was originally grown in northern Syria and southern Turkey. It is also known as halaby pepper. It is nice and flavorful with the heat following. Not too hot: I think they rank about 3 or 4 on a heat scale of 1-10. Aleppo/halaby peppers are popular in cooking and more commonly found in powder form. The plants are quite prolific and can grow to about 4 feet tall. Love these peppers.
