ID Pepper Plant

Help me ID this pepper. I planted Anaheim and 2 types of Jalapeno. This is a surprise plant as all were started from seeds. About the size of my index finger and pack some good heat. Thinking it may be a Serrano. Your help is appreciated, and how would you preserve these. Can like Jalapenos or dehydrate? I did work the garden with a MF135 perkins 3 cyl. gas and 6' king kutter tiller to keep it tractor related.

Those look a whole lot like the Super Chili hot pepper I have Capsicum annuum. Cone shaped green fruit turn orange then ripen to red.
As for what to do with them you can dry them and a number of other things. One of my books list 10 plus recipes to use them in
 
We supposedly have bought cayenne pepper plants the last 2 years that look like those. But our cayenne have never been that large until these 2 years.
Makes me wonder if the plants were labeled wrong.
 
Looks like a Serrano,it has thinner leaves and sets a lot of peppers.We got some by mistake from a green house.You can buy them in most stores.Small firm pepper that will turn red when ripe.Wife cans them with Hungarian hot wax peppers.The Serrano stands out when growing with other hot peppers because of its slim leaves.
 
Not a type of New Mexico green chile (or Anaheim as they are incorrectly called), and sure not Serranos (smaller than a Jalapeno). Looks a lot like a type of Cayenne to me. But with all the crossbreeding, who knows.
 
I've grown tons of peppers of many kinds. Those look like Anaheims to me. Serranos look like small, thin jalapenos, dark green and hard skinned. Those are too big to be nearly anything else. I'm sure they are barely hot, one small step above a bell pepper.
 
Just measured 2 Serranos, they go 3.25.Easy to check out at grocery stores here.We have grown them for 5 years.
