Ingredients
  1. Peppers - Any Variety
Instructions
  1. Rinse, core and coarsely chop your larger sweet or hot peppers.
  2. If drying smaller hot peppers rinse and pat dry only.
  3. Place peppers or pepper pieces on dehydrator leaving space in between each pepper for good air flow.
  4. Turn dehydrator on and set to 135 degrees ( or follow manufactures instructions as each dehydrator is a little different)
  5. Dry peppers until completely dry (approximately 24 hours depending on size and shape of peppers)
  6. Whole peppers may take require a longer drying period.
Notes
  1. Once dehydrated peppers can be stored in a clean jar with lid tightly fastened, or a plastic bag. Be sure peppers are completely dried before storing to prevent spoiling from moisture.
  2. When making powders, it is best to use a coffee grinder or spice grinder to form your powder. A food processor is not equipped to handle the small pieces and a powdered form is much more difficult to achieve. Store dried powder in air tight container away from heat and direct sunlight. Powder may cake a bit so shake gently before using to reduce clumps.
