(71 days) Open-pollinated. The Boldog from Hungary that doesn’t bite but does dry nicely with a hint of spiciness. A prolific bearer of 4–6" long wrinkled tapered pendent fruits. Enjoy fresh, although skins are a little tough, or roast and peel for delicious additions to pizza, pasta or stew. Pick red, dry and grind into sweet paprika or string into decorative ristras. Boldog sets enough fruit to accommodate all uses. Emily Skrobis reports that 8 plants easily produced a quart of paprika: “I never use store-bought paprika when I have immensely flavorful Boldog to spice up my cooking. It gets lots of compliments!” The town of Boldog is in a well-known spice-pepper district northeast of Budapest. ①
