I'm thinking the jalapenos are just starting to turn red.  He didn't
mention any other changes in the appearance or form of the peppers.
This being his first year he is probably paranoid of something
happening to his pods.  

What exactly is sunburn on pepper?  "The Pepper Garden" book doesn't
mention it.  It mentions sunscald which I have unfortunately
encountered on many occasions, mainly on tomatoes.  I done a quick
search for it hoping to find some pictures to no avail.  Some sites
did mention certain larger type peppers being resistant.

So is there any pod heads with links to pictures of peppers with
sunburn?
