Steve,
I don't really have any clue why this could be happening to you, but maybe
this will make you feel better: I have gotten jalapeņos in the market with
this eggplant-colored skin, and they still tasted fine to me. Plenty
usable, and I'm sure they wouldn't sell them if they weren't good to eat.
Sorry about following up such an old thread but hey, better late than
never, right? :)
