This seems like a connection of minds. I really enjoy the content on your channel. Today I harvested nearly 1.3 kg of Limon, Habanero, 7 Pot and Bhut Jolokia and the whole house smells from the kitchen, cause they're dehydrating right now. Just then I saw your new video. Perfect timing!
Keep in with your work, I really like it! Best regards from Cologne, Germany! 🙏

I have a jar of homemade pepper flakes from a string of cayenne peppers that hung in my kitchen for a year, mixed with this year's Yellow Hungarian hot peppers I dried in the dehydrator. The taste is amazing. The Hungarian peppers added a wonderful fruitiness and cut the cayenne heat back a tad. I won't be using store bought pepper flakes ever again.

My yard gets about two hours of cold sun a day. I am so jealous of those that can grow peppers. Fun video!

Great timing! This weekend I will be clearing out the garden peppers: poblano, red thai, hot banana. Also going to do a tray of dill pickle slices to make pickle dust. Will all be done in the garage since I'm not allowed to dehydrate peppers in the house...

I've done cayennes in the oven. Low as it goes with the door open a hair. Turned out real well. Dehydrator probably much easier though.

[joeycerelli]

putting a slit into the peppers is key for me. makes drying them so much faster and easier.

Would love to see a recipe on peppered or spicy beef / chicken jerky!

Some day I hope to finally get a good dryer. Unt6then i find a really easy way to dry my peppers is to string them up. Tie a loop at the top end of the string and attach to the light under a ceiling fan. That's it. No need to prep the peppers except stringing them up( they make for great storage AND look great) FYI I'm still thinking about how to make salmon chili, i have a few ideas. I just need to get out and catch some fresh salmon. Have a great day 🌤 🌶🐟🎣

Can dried peppers be stored in vacuumed jars?

I bake my split and gutted hot chiles at 170F for 10-15 hours. When they rattle I blend to a dust in a vitamix dry container. Never once had a scorched or burned pepper. I grow all sorts of amazing varieties from The Chile Woman in Indiana. Check her out!!! She ships. The red Caribbean and chocolate scotch bonnets are amazing. These all dry well in the oven. I actually prefer the higher temperature since it brings out a broader flavor profile. I feel like a normal dehydrator looses flavor and heat for some reason. ❤

'tis the season for drying peppers

[jonathan_r_lee]

Stupid question from a first time pepper grower: Are the seeds still viable when you dehydrate your peppers in a dehydrator?

[TimedOut...NoWayo]

"Drying" has to be included in the title because "Dehydrate" is too big of a word for so many people to understand.
But I love peppers - dried or dehydrated.
