i have tabasco peppers and habanero peppers that i want to dry and ground up but im not sure how to dry them. anyone do this before?
yes ive harvested about 6 so far and they are just starting. theres about a hundred tabasco peppers already thoughi leave mine out in the hot texas sun for a day or 2. have you been harvesting yet? i've got plenty of japs and bells but none of the hot cooking peppers so far.
even betteerim gonna dry them and then grind them into powder to put in hot sauce and save some to chop up to make habenero burgers
thats what im doing. i usually use jalepenos chopped with red onions but now i have the habaneroseven betteer
u can even chop into small cudes
and throw them in wth the hambuer meat
yea thats the easy way if u got the moneyYour best bet is probably using food dehydrator. If you dont have one, or would rather the DIY way, try Alton Brown's dehydrator. Its basically just put your fruits between 2 cellulose AC filters (the white ones) and strap them to a box fan. Heres the episode of him using it to make beef jerky, same concept. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5912487412723519389
