Making another batch of Jalabellanero Wake-Up Dust

[jwtseng]

I wasn't planning a real cook today, but I was just at the local mexican supermarket and saw these beautiful peppers:

Just beautiful colors, don't you think? Perfect for another batch of my Jalabellanero Wake-Up Dust.

2lb Red Sweet Bell Peppers - a round sweetness
2lb Green Jalapeños - green chile flavor
0.5lb Habaneros - fruity flavor and heat

It's all taking a long sleep in cherry/oak smoke until dry. Then I'll crush in a blender and sift the final powder.

At what temp are you smoking?

 

[yakdung]

So are you actually going to dehydrate and create a dust? I do that with bell peppers.

Sweet!

Those are pretty. I like your idea. I am intrigued!

:grin:

Temp in the smoker is probably about 275-300...that's where my cooker likes to be. I'll smoke until completely dry. Then crush into a powder using a blender. Then I'll sift out the bigger bits of skin/seeds that don't get pulverized as easily. The leftover fine powder is like gold...rich reddish brown in color, deeply smoky and fruity smelling, sweet flavored when it hits the tongue but finishing with a gradually peaking heat. Easy to make...try it! You'll end up using it on everything like me!

So then Use as a rub? Seasoning?

Do you cut them on half or leave them whole

Nice, I've done something similar before

 

[emtnate]

That looks great, I love hot stuff and will be trying this soon.

 

[ShadowDriver]

I love ground, dried hot pepper for all sorts of stuff. Hadn't seen the smoked version, but can only imagine how tasty it is.

Pics look great!

Here's what happened to all the beautiful colors...all smoked and dried out. The habaneros sound like ping pong balls. All the peppers look kinda black from the smoke, but inside there's still some retained color. And of course, the flavor is still there and super concentrated.

Next, let them cool off a bit and then into the blender for a whirl!
