Interesting. I'd have to take some, and make a Jalapeno sauce for soups stews enchilada sauce etc. bet the flavor is fantastic on your peps

I don't know, they don't seem to be drying. They smell great.

I do a bunch of different peppers every year. My experience is that they take forever to dry in the dehydrator. 24 hrs plus isn't uncommon for me. It worth it though. When I'm done for the year, I grind and mix together.

I another hour it will have been 24 hours but only 10 hours cut in half.

whenever i put anything on the smoker, i throw at least a half dozen jalapeno peppers on. whole. they sit there the entire cook and ultimately get dry and smoky. grind them up in my spice grinder and add to the stash. good stuff maynard.

Adam, they just take a while. Have patience. They're looking good.

It won't hurt to overshoot it either. Leave em overnight, they'll be fine


Here's how they should look when done..

+ 1 on patience. It's worth it, if they take 36 hours so be it. I use the dehydrator for lots of stuff, and peppers take the longest for me.
FWIW, I've never gotten them dry completely whole. I always cut in half, even small ones.

Adam, how are your peppers doing?

 

[c farmer]

Took about 29 hours total.


Grind them using this thing.


Looks good to me.


Got about a 1/2 cup.


Smells great and hot. Had my nose running and sweating while grinding.

Might try some hot snack sticks with this.

When I do my pepper grinds, I usually cut the peppers in rings. I have never smoked them first so this year that is my direction. Thanks for the idea!

I usually make grinds out of Thai, habs, ghosts, and jabs. I use a coffee grinder to make the powder.
