Chilli 'Hungarian Hot Wax' is one of the best quick-producing chillies for our cool climate. The fruits are long (about 10cm/4in) and pointed, starting green – mild, to yellow – medium and ripening to red and crimson – hot.
I've become a real chilli fiend and am addicted to chilli jam and jelly. If I have people to supper, I stuff the chillis with cream cheese, thyme and pine nuts and then griddle them for eating with your first glass of wine (see p319 Garden Cookbook). They are also fantastic sliced into any salad.

Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Sow under cover in modules Feb-March. These need a long growing season. Pot on and plant out when the frosts are over and the plants are about 10cm high and the first flowers appear. |
Care Tips | Grow in a green-house, in pots or in the ground. If planting outside, leave cloche in place for 2 weeks after planting to allow plants to settle in. Find out some top tips from South Devon Chilli Farm. |
Storing | These can be turned into pickles or jam, if you have a glut. To freeze, cut in half and remove the seeds. Or thread them onto cotton with a needle and hang in the kitchen to dry. |
Harvesting | July - November. 3-4 months from sowing. 'Hungarian Hot Wax' will produce for 3-4 months. |
Cooking Notes | Raw or cooked these chillies pack a punch. Can be eaten green. Delicious used in Sarah's Chilli jam recipe, made with ginger root and tomatoes. |

Chilli 'Hungarian Hot Wax' reviews
Prolific and very mild
Reviewed 16th October 2018 by Janet Purdie I have grown these for two years now. They produce enormous amounts of mild chillies and are very ornamental plants. I find they grow quite tall, so be attentive in pinching out the growing tips, or be prepared to stake them. They really do continue fruiting until late in the year. I have just dug up the plants in mid-October, but only because I needed the space. They were still going strong. I would not be without them! |
