it just dawned on me that unripe peppers can be ripened at season end in a paper bag with or without an apple in the bag. i tried it both ways and it works for cayenne, datils, tabasco and fatalii. they may wilt a little but not a lot unless they are in the bag for a long time. i don't recall how long but 4-5 days isn't too long whereas 10 or 14 would be. large thicker walled peppers may get limp faster than these i mentioned because they have more water content.
