Hi All.

I harvested 15 pounds of banana peppers about 5 days ago with the intention of pickling them.  They've stayed in a cool but not refrigerated spot since then.  

Just starting cutting them up and, with more than half cut, have not found ONE with any heat left.  They are otherwise in good condition, firm and plump.  I chomped on several while I was harvesting because I wasn't sure if some of them were a long sweet italian--they were ALL hot.

I have Lyme Disease so maybe my senses are whacked out...?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Deb
