Giant in the Kitchen: Saving Padron Pepper Seeds

I don't think it will work. As I mentioned earlier, I want to save some seeds from the fresh Pimientos de Padron thatI received in the mail. After further thought, I don't think the seeds will do well because the peppers are prematurely picked. My knowledge is rough, but from what I've read seeds need to be harvested from peppers when they have grown to full maturity. The peppers I have are prematurely picked because that's when you want to eat them. Fortunately I found seeds for sale online. I'll have to order a pack and try them in the spring.
