Peppers both self pollinate and cross pollinate, by wind and by
insects. If your banana pepper blossomed but didn't fruit, it will
probably blossom a second time. You can help it by pollinating one
blossom with another using a Q-tip swab.

If your two peppers cross pollinate the fruit will be true this year
but any seeds you save will be hybrids and yield all kinds of weird
peppers next year: hot bells, mild bananas, strangely shaped,
misshapen peppers etc. Although you might get lucky and come up with
something new that's good.

If you get banana peppers you could make a mild version of:

     Title: SATE KAMBING
Categories: Starters, Lamb, Streetfood, Indonesia
  Servings: 6

     1 kg Lamb; in 10cm x 2cm strips
    24    Skewers- wooden; soak 2hr
          MARINADE:
     4    Garlic cloves; crushed
     1    Gonger root, 5cm; chop fine
     1 ts SAMBAL OELEK; OR
     2    red chillies, chop fine
     1 c  Tamarind water
     1 tb Peanut oil
     2 tb Kecap manis
     1 ts Coriander- ground
          Salt
          Black pepper; ground fresh

The aroma of the ultimate snack! All over Indonesia, just as dusk
begins to devour the last rays of the sun, the satay vendors are
bent over their charcoal fires, fanning the coals with banana leaves
and broadcasting their wares to muster the hungry.

Combine the marinade ingredients in a ceramic or glass bowl. Add the
lamb strips and toss until well coated. leave to marinate in the
refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Thread the strips of lamb onto wooden skewers and barbecue over
glowing coals for 3-5 minutes, basting frequently with the remaining
marinade.

Serve with plain white rice and bumbu sate.

NOTE: other meats can also be used - chicken is particularly good
when a teaspoon of ground turmeric is added to the marinade. Pay
close attention to cooking time, especially with chicken as it has a
tendency to dry out.
