Here’s the full story, from some smarty-pants on the internet:

Plain and simple, corking is when the inside of the pepper is growing faster than the outside, creating a cracked, cork-like texture on the skin. It is also referred to as cracking, checking, scaring, or even stretch marks. While corking is most popular amongst Jalapenos, it can happen to just about any hot pepper.

Exactly. I get this on my home grown peppers sometimes -- especially my jalapeños. It happens on green ones as well as more mature red ones. It doesn't change the taste, but slightly alters the texture. If you are going to slice or dice them, you won't notice any difference at all.

Wow!! Red jalapeños like that are prized in Mexico.
What are you going to do with them? Jalapeno Jelly? Pickled Jalapenos? Stuffed, breaded and deep-fried?
