The Windy City may be the last place you think of when you think about spicy peppers. And even with the Melrose pepper, you’d still be right. Melrose peppers, with their curved, tapered bodies, may look like hotter chilies, but really they are zero-heat sweet peppers. There’s not a spice to them, but that’s not to say that they aren’t absolutely delicious all the same. Their sweetness – sweeter than the bell pepper – is the attraction, and their thin, leathery skin allows for both pan-frying and stuffing making the Melrose a surprisingly versatile pepper in the kitchen.
