Stuffed Peppadew Peppers Recipe

Stuffed Peppadew Peppers have a unique, delicious taste – a mixture of peppery and sweet, with a distinctive flavor.  They have a mild heat of around 1200 on the Scoville scale.  The peppers look a lot like cherry tomatoes but are not related to tomatoes at all.  Peppadew is the trademarked brand name of sweet piquanté peppers that are grown in South Africa.

These little Peppadew peppers are a perfect for your appetizer tray or a finger food snack.  The Peppadew peppers are such a nice bright red, they make lovely appetizers that brighten up your table during the Holidays.  Try them – you’ll like them!  I always buy all I can find in my grocery store just to keep them handy for when I want to use them in my cooking.  I usually find Peppadew peppers in most large grocery stores.  Look for them on the same aisle as the pickles or condiments.  Many stores now have nice olive bars where you might be able to find them to purchase in bulk.
