Preserving Jalapenos...and making something really Salty & Spicy!

Jalapenos work well for dehydrating - and I'm showing you something fun to make with it, too!
An alternative, if you don't have a dehydrator, is to pulse your fresh jalapenos into very small bits, mix it with the salt, and dry it on a cookie sheet in the oven.
Serve on popcorn, corn on the cob, spice up chicken salad, and any other way you want to spice up a dish!

I'm new ti this and you have taught me so much. Thank you. I dried pickled jalapeno slices and added them to my dehydrated pinto beans. I'm excited to try them soon.

[SticksStonesandPaintedBones]

Love the tips! My good friend grows a bunch of pepper each year and makes tons of salts with them. Wonderful on veggies.

[madelinehall]

Blessings Darcy from Chicago. I have a lot of pickled vegetales and peppers from a few years back. I drained a few, dehydrated them and mixed them to gether with dried onions and garlic to even out the brine. I created new seasonings and new uses for canned items.🎉🎉🎉🎉Thank you for the guidence.

[dawndavis]

We do a mixture of dried jalapeños and dried onions ….. keep each just dried, and powder as needed for seasoning …. We are in love lol

[TxSusieQ]

I did a mix of jalepeno, serrano, and cilantro...it is so good.

[jessicahutcherson]

Definatly take them outside when putting dehydrated peppers in the food processor. Found that out the hard way before I saw your video!!! Thank you for sharing.

[rachaelyounger]

I love the idea of chopping/ grinding them before drying. I ground them after drying, and grinding dried peppers is also to be done outside. Note that hte heat is mostly in the seeds. If you have someone who loves stuff that is hot, leave and save as many seeds as you can! Hubby happily sprinkles the dried pepper powder on all sorts of foods.

Ok so here i go. I have 2 gallons of jalapeños. I have the confidence to dehy them after watching this. Thank you bunches Darcy.

🤣🤣🤣 I loaded my dehydrator last week on a rainy day all closed in and wondered why I felt like I was coming down with a sinus issue~ went out to check mail and came back in and felt like 😐~~ I can’t believe I gassed myself with pepper fumes~ I KNOW BETTER I’m half Mexican for 30 yrs I’ve canned salsa but I’m still a newbie dehydrating ~ only 10 months in☮️💜

[marygallagher]

Great demo! I love the cute jar you got for the Jalapeno Salt :-)

[Barosunflower]

Share this video with my husband, he grew lots of jalapeños

[barbtaylor]

Thank you for this peppers are in harvest right now and overwhelming. I will definitely dehydrate and love the jalapeno salt idea. Never thought of putting on popcorn ❤

[leelouCreates]

I love adding them to burgers before they go on the grill.

[buck]

Thanks Darcy! We have tons of jalepeno. We are letting them turn red then smoke them to make chipotles and chipotle powder.

[wheaties]

I am SO excited to dry the last of my jalapeños to make this salt! Thanx for the idea!

[sharonmckee]

Such a great idea! I love it! Gotta find peppers now!

[earleencadwell]

Absolutely love the Jalapeño salt recipe. Such a great idea love love watching your channel.

[hoosierpreppingnurse]

You are so right about doing this outside. I did cayenne peppers inside the first time. I ran a quick errand. All I can say is all the pets were at the other end of the house. It took a long while one with all the windows open to make it breathable in there.

[hersheyqueenlisa]

I’m sure I must have heard it before, but I forgot and processed my hot banana peppers in the kitchen. And it’s true about the gloves and the mask! I coughed from my toes to the top of my head! And my hands burned for a couple of days. I’m betting I’ll remember the next time! I think I’ll make some salt for my grandkids who love everything hot. Thanks, Darcie, for another great video!❤

[sheliaheverin]

I'm going to do a mix, jalapeños, banana, pepperoncini and poblano.
