What Do You Do With Sugar Rush Peach Peppers?
Sugar Rush Peach Peppers’ versatility lends them well to many recipes, from jams and pickles to salads or canning chiles. They range from mildly hot to very hot, so adjust cooking times accordingly for your preference.
Their natural sweetness means that Sugar Rush Peach Peppers are perfect substitutes for tomatoes in sauces and salsas, adding a bit more depth of flavor while still maintaining a good amount of acidity.
Peach peppers can be added to almost any recipe that uses fresh or cooked tomatoes.
They are also a good salad ingredient, especially when mixed in with a light vinaigrette dressing.
Peach peppers work well in hearty soups and stews. They add both sweetness and heat, giving a spicy kick to otherwise bland dishes.
What Do Sugar Rush Peach Peppers Taste Like?
Sugar Rush Peach Peppers are delicious when prepared with a good amount of salt and pepper in the sauce or added to the dish.
They are great in peach salsa or relish and can be added to soups and stews to add sweetness and heat. They can also be used as a garnish for other dishes, such as appetizer dips or hot wings.
Are Sugar Rush Peppers Sweet?
Sugar Rush Peppers taste very sweet, especially when cooked with sugar and vinegar. They are not as sweet in flavor as the more common bell peppers, so they work well in dishes that use tomatoes or other fruits that would normally add their own sweetness (such as apples).
This is the pepper for you if you are a big fan of both peppers and sweetness.
How Hot Are Sugar Rush Peppers?
The Scoville rating measures the concentration of ingredients in pepper, with higher ratings indicating more heat. Sugar Rush Peach Peppers, at roughly 100,000 to 1 million on the Scoville Scale (depending on which source you use), fall into the ‘medium/hot’ range.

Conclusion
Peach peppers are a unique and divisive pepper. Their sweetness and natural flavor make them versatile, while their heat and lack of resourcefulness as a cooking ingredient have kept them from becoming more popular.
Sugar Rush Peach Peppers‘ mild heat is similar to bell peppers; however, if you like both fresh and cooked red peppers, you need to try these!
Peach peppers are perfect for sauces, relishes, bread and pies; they can also be dried or pickled. They taste great when combined with other sweet or spicy ingredients such as vinegar, salt, or sugar.
