Dehydrating Whole Peppers

[@yourneighborhoodcrafthead6455]

Literally EVERYTIME I look for something I see a video of you pop up, you have everything I need for canning and everything!! Thank you so much for being diverse with your videos and explaining everything!! ❤️

[@gwizu3]

Just picked 50# of peppers from a friends garden before the frost. This video popped up first and is the PERFECT video!!! Thanks as always for all your great info, LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel.

[@melodyjogibson6791]

I would like to learn the smoking dried peppers. Excellent teaching

[@jreneewolf885]

Thanks for giving me ideas for easier ways to preserve the harvest! God bless!

[@sheilavilla6707]

I am about to do this, I have alot of ceyenne peppers to make my own red pepper . Need to get a dehydrater. This video is exactly what I needed to see today. Thank you!

[@50shadesofgreen]

great advice and information about the individual peppers and how you dehydrate them

[@cleelumchesapeakes]

I have been dehydrating my whole peppers for DAYS! I didn't think it would take THIS long!!

[@wval4379]

Sarah, I learn so much from you and Kevin. I love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us.

[@TheTamrock2007]

Perfect. About to dehydrate some peppers. Thanks so much.

[@juanitalane4921]

Sarah thanks for the information re drying whole peppers

[@rogeraustin8694]

I've used the "tray on the dashboard of my pickup truck" technique and it works okay. It also keeps people from borrowing the truck. I want to look into getting a dehydrator, but we have a lot of appliances already. The issue for me is grinding them up into a powder. I have to do that in the spice grinder outside. Now I need a new spice grinder.

[@marycouper6727]

Lol!

[@RS-jj7yj]

I absolutely love your videos. I would have never found your channel if it wasn't for Doug and Stacy. Keep them coming... Imma KZbin Junkie and I spent about 3 hours watching videos a day... I know, I need a life but when I find a great Channel like yours I can spend hours watching the videos. Yesterday I literally spent 7 hours watching your videos

[@rebeccataylor5332]

Thanks Sarah, this is a timely video as I have soooo many jalapeño peppers from one pepper plant.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Glad to help!

[@OZARKMEL]

I just recently got a dehydrator and would love to see more videos of what you dehydrate and how!

[@learnjcbskidsterchickensga7594]

And closeups of cutting My captions covered that up I will look for a more recent update…thanks!

[@mariewilliams1357]

Great information, Sarah. You make it look easy!

[@navigodelaney119]

I use that same dehydrator. It works great for the price and is fairly easily stored. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@metro3692]

Thank you for this video. Answered all my questions.

[@sallyboothe911]

I don’t know why I haven’t watched this before…. Thank you so much for helping me to “see” how to dry peppers whole. Now I’d like to see how you smoke those peppers. I grew some paprika peppers this year, very hot. I would like to smoke some of them. Thanks for all you do 🙏🏻

[@mygrannysgarden]

Great video. First time trying to dehydrate

[@carlahabeck4051]

Would love a video on your spice mixes using these peppers.

[@eugottabekiddin3772]

Great, simple process

[@maryhoelscher1671]

Totally tomatoes and Seeds n Such has Tennessee cheese peppers and Alma praprika can be used for paprika

[@garretbrown575]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge

[@danialholt4174]

I just received 20# of fresh off the farm chili peppers from a friend in NM. I could roast and freeze them as I've done before, but I thought dehydrating might be interesting to try. I'm excited and hope I don't spoil the whole bunch. Many of these chilies are the size of bananas. Beautiful chilies.

[@rickparshall]

Cool!! I tried bell peppers.. hard as a rock.. they were cut up. I love my cayenne peppers dehydrated and am growing some pablamos (thanks to you😁) and jalapeño (a staple) and I think I slipped in a pack of habanero 😁😉 as well this year along with every color of bells... I like the poke holes in em idea.. will definitely try it this harvest!! Thanks!!!

[@StoriesFromEarth-n8h]

I have an idea for the sheep nose pimentos, you can make a hole or two with an apple corer into the body of the pepper, this will allow for better dehydration and airflow.

[@mattmiller-iv9qz]

try finding the nm green,red med hatch seeds

[@fraserkdm]

Thank you for the video!

[@djspeer9756]

Love this.... Would love to see the Chili pepper spice recipe . I use a lot of that as well. Great Video

[@darleneclark6098]

Yes please.

[@29880888]

You have helped me so much. Thank you for all that y'all do ..God bless

[@lane3727]

Enjoyed video of dehydrating 🌶 peppers!

[@texasnana555]

"Wonky" is one of my favorite words!! LOL I LOVE to watch y'all.

[@Wisconsincatmom]

Thanks for the informative video 😊

[@changingwindsfarm2087]

Looks easy. We need to try that! Thanks for the info.

[@cynthiajones3595]

My name is Cindy Jones and I love watching your Chanel my mom uses to can her veggies and we did eat a lot of home grown meat

[@cynthiajones3595]

I live in Florida

[@DiscoFiesta]

Thanks. I'm going to just give each pepper a quick crush instead of cutting slits and so the bigger ones fit from the get go. Wish me luck!

[@stephaniejoyce6896]

We got a dehydrator last summer from Cabelas. I LOVE my dehydrator! Such a great way to put food away for the winter and takes up so little space.

[@neednaturenow]

Great info. Thanks for the video!! I’ve been dehydrating my peppers but wasn’t sure of how they will look when they are finished. My cayennes are still rubbery so I guess they need more dehydrating.

[@GinchyGirlCreatesAndGardens]

Great video! I had the same type of dehydrator I got at a swap meet for 5 bucks :) I did the same with turning and rotating trays. I used it till it died(or I killed it ) haha! I got a knockoff brand now that’s similar but not near as expensive as an Excalibur. It has horizontal airflow, timer, temp gauge, and ten trays. It was a gift from my daughter :) sometimes I miss my round one though :) Simply did the job . Thanks for a great video! God bless .

[@solom9080]

Thank you for the video. (yes)

[@lorrieeaton3661]

I use my spaghetti jars , pickle jars that I get from friends and family members to put my dehydrated foods in and save my canning jars for my canning

[@syddlinden8966]

We're switching to a dehydrator this year because we have issues with it being too humid in our area for the hang dry method. all but 2 of my peppers last year molded during the drying process.

[@PaffordHomestead]

I need to do this we have so many peppers 👍

[@marycouper6727]

Informative video, thanks.

[@MySonsMother]

I know this is an older video, so you might already have another better idea. For my blueberries I use a hair pick made out of metal. That would work for your peppers and be quicker and easier. I’ve never done whole peppers I’ll consider that. Thank you for the video.

[@Therapy72]

I learned a lot from this video and kind of thought the presentation style was hilarious, thank you.

[@dalesmith182]

Terrific job! Eggzaktly what I needed to know. Blessings!

[@christiezemmin9197]

I love doing a search and finding videos from you guys! Thanks for the info - off to the dehydrator with my peppers I go! God bless ❤️

[@OurSoVaLife]

Thanks Sara, Another great informational video. I grew a ton of cayenne this year. I would love to know more about the fire cider and how you make it ..Thanks again

[@jobird354]

It's a nice video. When do you take seeds for next year? Can you grow the dried seeds into plants please?

[@roco422]

I would love some of your spice mix recipes!

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Great video idea, Samantha! I'll be happy to share those recipes!

[@brendajohnston7323]

You have inspired me to purchase a dehydrator, I am sitting on a glut of peppers. Wish me luck.

[@victoriaburkhardt4402]

Hi Sarah, you and Kevin are my very favorite You Tubers! If you would create a pepper handbook with growing tips, recipes, purchase sources, etc., I would buy it!!!

[@serobinson1]

So cool. I gotta try this !

[@YankeesOutdoorAdventures]

You guys are doing awesome👍

[@edie5285]

What did you use to grind them?

[@mccardieclan1755]

Red means ripe and they are healthier for you! Thanks for the video!

[@mccardieclan1755]

What Is an Ancho Chile Pepper? The ancho chile pepper is the dried version of the poblano pepper (from Puebla, Mexico) or specifically, it's the dried version of the almost-ripe state of the poblano pepper.​ In other words, the chile we know as a poblano pepper is a fresh chile that is harvested before ripening, which is why it's green. But when allowed to ripen, a poblano turns red and develops additional sweetness, which in turn balances out its already mild heat. Thus, ""an ancho chile is red"" while a poblano is green.

[@SailorsMrs86]

I know this is an old video but I came and watched this one after your recent harvest video. I'm looking into dehydrators and I had a friend tell me once that he had plastic dehydrators and he strongly recommended that I get two. One to use with peppers and onions and one for everything else. He said the plastic holds on to the smell and flavor of the onions and peppers and ruins the flavor of your fruit and everything else. Have you found this to be true? Thank you. I love your videos and I'm so happy for you guys having such a blessed garden.

[@RiverPlaid]

That was a great video. Thankful for ya.

[@kathyhirsch379]

fire sider ??? can i have the recipe please ,, love your videos thanks

[@eckief]

Thank you! Very helpful.

[@valerietruett1930]

Hi Sarah

[@gardenpatchmama]

Please Sara show us how to make fire cider and the syrup. Sounds wonderful for health.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@amandaturnipseed]

If smoking, do I need to do that before dehydration?

[@Casey1pj]

I love that dehydrator that you have Sarah. Did you guys just get lucky when buying it or did you try other ones first? Excellent video! I'm glad we just recently had a chili festival and I got my fill of chili. Otherwise I would be craving to go to the store and get some fixings. LOL. Thanks for the tips Sarah.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

We got lucky, I guess. It was pretty much the only model at Walmart. We love chili in the winter! Thanks for watching!

[@JoshandMandy]

This is an incredible video. Simple, easy and straight forward. We grow so many peppers and end up wasting some. This is a great way to bring the heat of the summer into the kitchen all year round. Do you have any other dehydration experience outside of peppers? herbs? fruit? other vegetables? Thanks for sharing, stay safe.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

We have done a ton of dehydrating over the years. Hopefully next summer I can do more videos about it. 😊

[@rohnsleather9986]

Very informative video. Love your channel.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Thanks so much! Glad you are part of our homestead family!

[@AlabamaTree]

Nice video.. Have you got a video of smoking the peppers when they have been dehydrated? I’d like to learn how to do this :) Do you dehydrate and then smoke them?

[@JaniceCrowell]

AlabamaTree I agree. I’d like to see that too.

[@Thisthingcalledlifeis]

Unfortunately don't have a garden. Can one dehydrate produce bought @ grocery stores?

[@rough-hewnhomestead4751]

I want to try this! Our dehydrator died....need to get a new one.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

You should definitely try this. Easy, peasy. We bought this from Walmart. It's nothing fancy or special.

[@quintoncarroll4828]

Do I need to roast the pablanos before dehydrating?

[@DannerJade]

Hi Sarah, can you show us how you smoke the peppers?

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Sure!

[@prairiemountainhomestead]

Thank you so much for this video

[@cynd5573]

Can you post your recipes for the chili powder and others as well as post something on smoking the dehydrated chili’s. Thanks

[@bobsmyth9776]

T Y... Enjoyed your video. Q. Wouldn't it be quicker if the pepper were split in half- lengthwise .??? I subscribed...your a gifted teacher..& God Bless

[@tamarawheeldon1060]

Great info!

[@feltingme]

Wonderful peppers. :) I used cayenne pepper to heal tonsillitis, because I hate antibiotics. I had to take 3 teaspoons a day though and I am not into very hot foods...So I stuffed them into capsules and took 12 a day. Worked better than antibiotics.

[@l2iowacowgirl893]

Wow!!! Did it bother you stomach I would be afraid to go to the bathroom!!! Lol i love spicy food but i do pay the price! Lol

[@feltingme]

My stomach was fine, and I didn't even ate that much food as it was painful to swallow with tonsilitis. and yes, it did burn on the way out. But a minute of burn is nothing comparing with severe weakness antibiotics used to give me, and certainly worth to get rid of the pain in the tonsils.

[@charleswayne8595]

Are the seeds good after dehydration?

[@quintoncarroll4828]

Do you poke holes in the pablanos?

[@poodledaddles1091]

good video

[@cathyamerine5140]

How do you smoke your food? Thanks

[@darleneclark6098]

Hi Sara. I love watching you and have learned so much ❤️. I also dehydrated my peppers this year, but was scared to do the hot peppers in fear that we would all be crying and in pain. Have you had any problems with this? Also can you show us how you blend them for spices, what do you use to powder them and would love if you shared you spice recipes. I love my old presto dehydrator, I purchased extra shelves that you can disassemble and use as spacers to dry bigger items. Also have mesh and plastic liners for small items and fruit roll ups. Have had mine for 30 years and still going strong. (Knock on wood) lol.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I know this is older comment but when I do hot peppers in my dehydrator I actually set the whole thing on the deck for about 2 hours at the beginning. I did pepper gas us out of the house with the habeneros the first time. But after about 2 hours the peppers form a dry skin so the smell drops down to almost nothing. Then it comes back into the house. I do the same with onions and garlic too. And one last "oh my dont do this in the house " if you grow horseradish don't grind/process in the house without good ventilation lol it should be weaponized! Lol so we pick a nice day and grind outside or in my moms garage if no good days in forecast. That stuff is lethal. Lol. Happy dehydrating!

[@BDCMatt]

This reduces my anxiety. i have sooo many peppers this year im afraid i would waste the extras after all the sauce is made. ill just throw em in my dehydrator whole.

[@plantbasedprepper]

I waited till the end to find out how you use them whole like that? Do you take the seeds out before blending or just put the entire pepper in the blender to grind? I just spend an hour taking all the seeds out of mine because I'm saving the seeds too. Also wonder if it's easier to get the seeds out if I dehydrate the entire pepper?

[@msdixie1972]

Also... Do you know how to can the sheep nose pimentos so they can be used to make pimento cheese? Like the little jars in the store.... I grew them this year and can't find how to can them.

[@ctay122]

I was just wondering if you are dehydrator has a temperature thing on it like mine does. If so can you tell me what temperature do you dehydrate at? Thank you.

[@bltcfo]

What temperature do you use?

[@stephengreenway5861]

Great video! So, I started a large pepper garden and ended up with a small pepper farm. Would this be fine for habaneros and ghost peppers with them both being thin membrane(possibly less time)?

[@swianecki]

I can see a big pot of chili in the near future. Those peppers look great!

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

I've been thinking the same thing!

[@msdixie1972]

How do you smoke the dried peppers? You mentioned doing that in the video. I would have thought you'd smoke or roast them and then dry. Thank you in advance! We are new to hot peppers :)

[@rainbowplacenco]

try Baker Creek seed company for the sweet paprika peppers...

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

They don't carry the sweet paprika peppers. Only the spicy paprika peppers.

[@rainbowplacenco]

Living Traditions Homestead ya sorry , saw that.... I ordered the spicy ones!

[@jessicabracewell5408]

Have you ever grew /used cubanelle peppers. I picked some out at one of our local farms. I am dehydrating them whole and was wondering what I could use them for.

[@rickdavis2235]

I bought a food dehydrator to dry some of my chiles. I'll be drying poblanos, scorpions, jalapeńos and reapers. How do I know when they are done but not overdone? Also, will the dehydrator damage the seeds?

[@janamiles597]

Do you blanch before dehydrating peppers?

[@jaderose8385]

Sarah hi can you use the seeds to plant with after the dehydration process ??!!

[@serobinson1]

I’m guessing it will kill them. Seeds normally have to stay cool and dry

[@JaniceCrowell]

When you powder the peppers, do you include seeds and whatever part of stem is still there?

[@sampsontarawilliams2170]

Hi! I would love to see a video on dehydrating in general. I am purchasing my first one soon and I'm looking for tips.

[@changingwindsfarm2087]

With the dehydrator going for several days, do your eyes or breathing get bothered with the peppers? I know when I dehydrate herbs, they smell awesome but it smells strong! Just wondering. Thanks!

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

We have never had a problem with it. But it does make the house smell great!

[@johndowe7003]

Ancho peppers are different from pablolano, very similar though

[@dw8773]

Anchos are dried, ripe (red) poblanos.

[@k.b.392]

Most my cayenne peppers are green. I had to pick them before the frost last night. Dehydrating the green ones; will they be ok or should I let them sit out to turn red, IF they will turn red. I usually just let the red ones sit inside in a sunny window to dry. I want to dehydrate pepper Bell & jalapenos, too. I do not have a dehydrator. Someone suggested I use the oven on the lowest setting (170 F, for me) & keep the door open a bit to let moisture escape. Do you have any suggestions. I do not want to buy a dehydrator. I usually will freeze whole serranos, jalapenos. I add the whole frozen serranos to food (soups/stews). The serrano are too mushy to cut up when thawed. Thanks.

[@valerieschauber1544]

How is the best way to keep onion fresh when dont have enought freezer space
