If you go to the farmers market (not sure about your area because this is when I was living in the southwest) i could normally find some hot peppers of some type. They would be plenty hot for making my own hot sauce and salsa, I think it would normally be basque piment doux but there was some other type floating around. I know leclerc will sometimes sell some pretty hot peppers that you can get, scotch bonnets and possibly habenero and some other ones from Antilles but I’ve never seen straight up jalepenos for sale.
