Ive had the pickled ones on holidays and from Turkish restaurants, very nice
Might have a dabble.
My mate gave me a recipe for a sweet chilli sauce a few years ago. Thought I would make some up, yeeehaaaaa, RED HOT
Ended up with around 5 bottles, so hot I could not eat it. My Mrs friend took around 3 bottles, she loved it lol
Edit - just telling my Mrs. Her friend was pregnant at the time, must have been a craving

Well I've just ordered a sweet peppers and hot chilli packfrom Amazon. It's a starter pack as I've never grown them before
£15 so no big deal. Got all the bits and seeds to get you going. Look forward to having a go. As for one it break's the boredom of this lock down

Our hottest chillies are very small so we dry them in a cooling oven. Once in the Rayburn overnight is all they need. Possibly a couple of times in an electric as it wouldn't hold the heat for so long. When dried they just crumble between your fingers and last for a year or two if stored in a reasonably airtight jar. Wash your hands a FEW times before you touch your eyes or any sensitive parts though.
Milder ones could go in a chutney, olive oil or help bulk up chillie

i have some carolina reapers doing not much at present, even purchased a nice little propagtor from aldi :-) on a whim and put on kitchen window sill to try and grow on a few more plants this year
think i will just chuck some seeds in the greenhouse - as that seems to work

Is there a right or wrong time of year to grow them ?

I sow my ultra Hots in December/January so that when most of the Frosts have gone in the spring they can be re-potted in the greenhouse.
Anytime after March for sowing hot chillies you will run out of time at the tail end of the season and they won't be ready.
Best bet now would be to get a big chilli plant from B & Q or the like

sew seeds indoors feb/march time, keep on a warm sunny windowsill till may time. Replant into larger pots and keep in sunny greenhouse. Water daily and feed with tomato food once in flower.

Well I've just set my starter kit up. Planted all my seeds. Put them in the window seal in the kitchen. As get a lot of sun and nearly away s warm in there. Give it a go. I'm new 2 this growing stuff. So got to learn lol
