Dried Peppers

[BamaProud]

A friend brought me a paper grocery bag full of assorted peppers. Serrano, Jalapenos, Tabasco, Habeneros, Poblano and Cayennes.

Didn't know what to do with them all so we decided to dry them. Bought a cheep dehydrator from Walmart and I think it turned out very nice. Time to make some Chili.

How did you grind them? Really nice color too!

"Ninja" food processor. Just don't take the top off for 30-45 seconds after you grind or you will mace yourself. Ask how I know.

The dehydrator did that good a job at drying them out? You do any prework on them or just throw them in the dehydrator? Stink up the house? Really does look great. In the past I just tied them on a string and hung in the kitchen.

Yea, I just followed the instructions that came with the dehydrator. No real prepwork. Cut the peppers into 1/4 inch strips, dehydrate until they break with a snap. I took about 7-8 hrs total. I did move them to the garage after the first hour because it was starting to spice-bomb the house. There are probably 5-6 trays worth of peppers in each bottle.
