What do you do when it’s late summer and you have way more hot peppers than you know what to do with? This is where we found ourselves this past summer. The perfect remedy? Dry out those peppers and turn them into red pepper flakes. In this video we dive into the ins and outs of how to make red pepper flakes at home.

I like to roast them on the grill before drying (I use a food dehydrator then jar the dried peppers until I need to grind some up). Lends a great smoky flavor to the end product. Have done this with a mix of jalapenos and serranos plus one or two habaneros and its the perfect "spicy" seasoning.

That was useful, Tx I've had success with chilli oil, and preserving just the meat in oil. but needed a few ideas / hints to do some drying, and that you provided. All the best to you.

Loved ❤ the vid soo much... I had to subscribe 👍. I did the same thing... stringing my jalapenos on thread 🧵 with a needle and it's been 3 months 😮. Anyhow, even though they looked beautiful and created an additive to my motif, I know I needed to utilize them in a better way 💯. Love it. TY...my new sista.

I’m wanting to do this this year! I ended up freezing most of the peppers because I was 35 weeks pregnant with my 4th child when we were inundated. Next summer I definitely want to dry them! 😍

Totally get that!! Thankfully drying was actually super quick and easy! And even if you don't want to hang them, we just left some extras sitting on the counter and they dried just the same too...no work needed :). Thanks for watching!

How do you keep them from getting dusty? We tried drying them last year but as they dried they wrinkled and I couldn't get the dust out of all the wrinkles.

@FromScratchFarmstead Жыл бұрын

Interesting! Ours really didn’t get dusty. I just wiped any visible spots before grinding. You could always do a quicker dry method in a dehydrator or oven and that would definitely remedy this! Thanks for watching!

@@FromScratchFarmstead our little off grid homestead is the single most dusty place I've ever lived. It's ridiculous really. I was in the hospital for a week last year and when I got home there was so much dust I swear I could have started seedlings in it.

I’d just use a toothbrush or a feather to dust off those peppers. I’m not squeamish about a bit of dust especially my own dust😂 Just imagine the stuff rolling around factories when it’s being jarred up for us commercially? Enjoy your harvest x❤

@@Katya-zj7ni toothbrush is a good idea. It gets so crazy dusty out here in the summer. You have to dust every single day or the place starts looking like a haunted house right quick lol.

I made a rookie mistake of removing stems from a bunch of scotch bonnet peppers I harvested this year. Can I still hang them by piercing a thread through top of peppers?

@FromScratchFarmstead 9 ай бұрын

I'm afraid they might collect dust inside? You could also just leave them out on the counter to let them dry out! That's what we did this year :)

@krishanus7683 9 ай бұрын

I see people using dehydraters. Is that something you would recommend or dry out naturally.

@FromScratchFarmstead 9 ай бұрын

You could definitely do that to speed the process along! Either method works!

@scottstewart6260 5 ай бұрын

dehydrating them helps keep the peppers from molding while drying. some climates you get more brown looking peppers, and that is because the seeds mold inside the pepper.

I have tried to find the right way to dry pablano to make ancho, to no avail. The dried ancho you buy at the store, in the Mexican section are pliable, and sweet and has an almost tobacco scent. I’ve dehydrated and they are not pliable and have no smell and just aren’t right. I’ve hung them and they tend to mold before they dry. Anyone have a tip?
