Easy Homemade Paprika ❤️

[@auntissie]

I'm 70, and embarrassed that I never knew what exactly paprika was made of!! Well as I tell my grandkids; "every day, you learn something new," and this is an excellent lesson I'll have to tell them about! Thank you, Rachel!! 💖🌷💖

[@rachelcookswithlove]

70 years young, thank you so much my friend, I hope you give it a try.❤

Same here! I had no idea!😊

[@nocatfishnana1923]

I can’t believe it took me 75 years to learn to make paprika!! You are such an inspiration to me. Watching your channel is like sitting around the kitchen watching my Tias cook as I was growing up. Thanks for all the great memories ☮️💟 Nana

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Aw! I appreciate your comment Nana, I have sweet memories just like yours.❤

[@melissafields3376]

For the last 50 years, I have been allergic to paprika. Only after trying your recipe (because I've eaten red bell peppers before)I had no reaction THANK YOU! 😊 So I researched cinnamon too; because I've been allergic to it as well. Found out, I'm not allergic to one type: Saigon cinnamon. But it must be truly organic. Bless you for sharing your skills with us! I'm looking forward to making many of your dishes again with this paprika; instead of having to leave it out ❤.

[@carolinegonzales3554]

Thank you.

[@ajay-vu6or]

Thank-you so very much for sharing your wealth of information with everyone! You truly are a treasure. I am going to the farmers market on Friday, and getting bell peppers and going to make paprika! Thank-you again. Love your videos!💖

Love you, Rachel! My husband said that I’ve gotten better at cooking. I said “TY Jesus and TY Rachel Cooks w/ Love!”❤️ 💕

You are so welcome! I appreciate your sweet comment my friend, so happy I can help.❤️

Yes, very easy and all with different flavors. Thank you my friend. ❤

[@richardvtagle]

This has been a day of the best learning for me my dear Rachel. This morning, I learned how to make queso fresco which is super simple to make and now, another simple recipe for sweet paprika, one of Johnny's most favorite spices. You know I'll be at the grocery store tomorrow picking up red bell peppers. I just love learning and you my forever friend, are an outstanding teacher. As this new month begins, my heartfelt wish is that it ushers in the best blessings and greatest joy for you and your Ron. Sending you tons of love.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Hugs and love dear Richard, I hope you enjoy this paprika recipe. You can always add a kick to it or leave it sweet, just remember to dehydrate till they snap crispy. Blessings to you and your Johnny my friend, enjoy every day and stay safe. ❤😊😋

[@ace6285]

Wow! Thanks for that. I had no idea that was possible.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Glad to help, very easy my friend. Different red peppers, different paprika flavor.❤️

[@SuzanneBaruch]

*Thank you!* I've spoken with people who complain they have so many red bell peppers in their gardens and they don't know what to do with them. I always suggest they make paprika, and they're surprised that it's so easy! You can also dry out tomatoes to make "sun dried" tomatoes, then put the pieces into olive oil. They're SOOOOO much better than what you'd buy in the store.

[@RJ-mh1bu]

I have never tried yet. Thanks for posting and remind me to do. ??? I have some Jimmy Nardello Italian peppers I am so drying right now and wondering about doing with them also. Do you use all olive oil in jar to do or a mixture of something? I haven't found on Google yet what I am wanting to do, or shelf life or canning procedure.

[@SuzanneBaruch]

@@RJ-mh1bu I'm sure you could make a very nice paprika with Jimmy Nardello peppers. But as for the tomatoes, I use olive oil when preserving and storing them. You want to cut them into quarters and take out some of the seeds, then dry them in a very low oven. Don't dry them all the way like you'd dry peppers for paprika. You want them to still be pliable. Then let them cool, put them into a glass jar and cover the tomatoes with olive oil. I sometimes stick a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme in there. DO NOT put garlic into the oil, as this can lead to food poisoning. You should store them in the refrigerator and try to use them within a few months, if possible. I have not experimented with long-term canning of sundried tomatoes.

[@RJ-mh1bu]

So sweet of you! Thank You very very much!! I greatly appreciate this information and tips. Excited to try. I do have Jimmy Nardello peppers 😁

[@donnamullins2089]

This video was lots of fun! I’ve NEVER seen anyone make paprika! I have one sweet red peppper plant ( long red peppers) with so many peppers on it that I only thought of freezing them. Maybe paprika is the golden idea! Thank you again!

[@dianneferraro7969]

I would finish that amount in less than a week. I put paprika on everything. Potatoes, meats, soups, eggs, pasta sauce etc love it

[@AmericaCirclingTheDrain]

Well, who knew?! That's so cool. Rachel, I enjoy all your videos, but this one was just a little better because there was no background music. Some of us have a difficult time with music in the background. Plus, I just love the actual kitchen sounds. It was thoughtful of you to show us how to do this without a dehydrator. Blessings.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

So happy you enjoyed it my friend, I appreciate your comment so much. ❤😊

what would you put in to make smoky paprika? Chipotle?

[@NoemiRomano-y3j]

​@rally618 Instead of using oven or dehydrator, the Chiles are smoked over oak wood.

[@NoemiRomano-y3j]

I bet it would work well to smoke the peppers in a smoker first then dehydrate them as Rachel shows.

Paprika is the low key king of spice.

I love your apron Ms Rachel, it’s beautiful, did you make it? Im so proud your sharing these 😅wonderful easy tips. One summer I had a super abundance of all kinds of peppers, so I made a chili powder. I had enough to share with my children and their families. I dried all my peppers in my dehydrator and ground them like you did. Thank you for so many wonderful videos.

I never knew where paprika came from up until about a year ago when there was a meme on Facebook. it was like, wow, who knew? I like the Spanish paprika, but use whatever I can find at the grocery store. Thanks to Rachel, we now know how to make our own. I wonder if you could freeze dry the bell peppers, with those freeze dryers in the market, it’s a possibility. Thanks Rachel.

I watched this video last night, and 2x again today (a lot of people interruptions if you know what I mean). Thank you, Rachel! I had no idea making paprika was so simple. I can make paprika whenever we have extra sweet red peppers, too. We use paprika a lot, and it’s always running out so quickly. I can imagine those crispy dried peppers broken up would be great on a salad, too. I watched some other videos as well, and I’m going to begin making our own spice powders. Getting my gloves on! 😊 Thank you again, Rachel. Blessings!

[@maryannlyons5858]

Hello Rachel, thank you for sharing your knowledge..I didn't know that was how to make paprika.

[@IslandTiffiney]

Another option for storing spices like onion powder, chili powder, paprika m, etc... is to dehydrate a big batch (enough to fill a pint or half pint mason jar and then to vacuum seal the majority of the spice (with an oxygen absorber if you have them);and keep just enough out for pantry use that will be used up in ~ a month. This way, your spices are always fresh. I've been dehydrating and grinding my fresh spices like this for years!
