The dilled pickled green beans recipe I got here calls for 1 tsp cayenne papper per pint. Is this fresh cayenne? 1 tsp ground dried cayenne seems like a lot of pepper per pint. Thanks.
 
While I agree that 1 teaspoon of dried ground cayenne per pint does seem like a bit too much for my taste - there is no indication that they mean anything else.

Normally, if they were talking about fresh peppers, the instructions would say something like - 1 small cayenne pepper (for a whole pepper), or 1 teaspoon sliced/chopped cayenne pepper if using a fresh pepper.
 
Thanks for your help. I kept looking at recipes & most everyone used pepper flakes.
