Default help me identify this pepper

please? We've planted two varieties of peppers - one, your typical bell,
goes from green to red and tastes quite sweet. The other, i'm afraid to
admit - i threw out the little thingamabob that tells what it is. It may be
a form of chili. It is small - about 1 1/2 - 2" in diameter - very round -
it goes from a dark green to a cherry red. I think it's quite hot. What is
it? And what could I cook with it? TIA.

Oh yes! We have those little round peppers! We use boil them in water and
vinegar only few minutes, than we fill them with grated bread , Romano,
capers, parsley, garlic, anchovies and few EVOO.
Good for hors d'oeuvre.

If the flesh is white and solid as oppose to hollow in the interior then I
think that is a radish.

I don't understand what you say, Dimitri.
The peppers in the photo are filled with some fresh cheese. That is not the
flesh!

It's a place to start but neither of those are really round chiles the
way a cascabel is.

Well, Pandora offered a recipe to stuff and bake an appetizer version.
Pickling is a very common way, using the pickled ones with salads, etc.

Yes, cherry peppers are excellent pickled. Wash peppers, Leave whole
or slice into rings, about 3/16". Choose a clean jar. Fill jar with
peppers. Make up a brine; half water, half white vinegar, 1 tbs kosher
salt per qt, fill jar to cover peppers. If desired, add some pickling
spice, a bay leaf, a garlic clove, some black peppercorns, any or all.
Refrigerate. Can be used in about two weeks. Keep refrigerated, will
last about 18 months. I grow jalapenos and pickle them as decribed...
this year I have a bumper crop, my neighbors will be happy.
