This question is every botanists nightmare at a dinner party. The fact of the matter is, to a botanical scientist, the part of the plant that forms after a successfully polinated blossom, is always a fruit. This would include apples and Oranges, pumpkins and cucumbers, green beans and pea pods, tomatoes and, yes! jalapeno peppers!
The plant may contain many other parts, edible or not, but none of them are called "vegetable". They are called leaves, roots, stems, tubers, blossoms, seeds, and so on.
The term "vegetable" is a common, or non-scientific word used to describe just about any plant-type food that a kid will not eat; conversely the word "fruit", when used familiarly mainly describes sweet, plump things that grow on trees, shrubs and bushes that are, for the most part, actually fruits!
Soooooooo...a jalapeno pepper is a fruit in the laboratory, and a vegetable at the dinner table - because nobody, including a kid, would eat one.
