The Peach Jigsaw has a rough, bumpy surface and matures to a soft, pastel peach color.

This pepper is perfect for making ultra-hot sauces, tropical salsas, and spicy chutneys. Its fruity flavor also makes it a good addition to marinades and barbecue sauces, particularly those used with chicken or seafood. Due to its intense heat, it should be used sparingly, as even a small piece can add significant spice to a dish.

The Peach Jigsaw plant grows to around 3 to 4 feet tall and produces a moderate yield of peach-colored pods. It requires warm temperatures, full sun, and well-draining soil for optimal growth. The plant is moderately productive and takes a bit longer to mature, rewarding growers with unique and fiery pods.

Handling the Peach Jigsaw requires gloves due to its extreme heat. Avoid touching your face or eyes after handling, as the capsaicin can cause irritation. When cooking, ensure good ventilation, as the fumes can be quite potent.
