Overview
Hinkelhatz is a Pennsylvania Dutch heirloom hot pepper whose name, and its English alias Chicken Heart, come from the small heart-shaped pods. Fruit are only about 3/4 inch wide and 1 1/2 to 2 inches long, green at first and ripening to red, and they have long been used in the region for pickling and for pepper vinegar. Expect roughly 90 days from transplant, so start seed early indoors and set plants out once the soil has warmed. The compact fruit size makes it easy to pickle whole. A good pick for gardeners interested in preserving old regional varieties.
