Cherry peppers are small, round peppers — typically about 1.5 inches in diameter — that may be sweet or mildly hot depending on the variety, and ripen from green to red. They have thick, sweet flesh that is popular fresh in salads, stuffed with cheese or meat, or pickled in brine. The variety is especially popular in Italian cuisine and is widely sold pickled in jars.
