Making Superhot Pepper Flakes Using Peppers From My Garden

[@EyeCandyLawnandGardens1]

cut a heep of reapers last year without gloves, and shortly after re positioned me ball bag, perched around the house and yard with an ice pack on me sack for the next few hours, still picking reapers off the plant, peppers in one hand wrinkled bag in the other, no good

i use a dehydrator, its a lot more efficient since you have to leave it on for so long. its probably safer too. I also use a coffee grinder, makes really nice powder.

[@joshuamorris3364]

@@waves101 You can hang them from ristras, put on a cookie sheet outdoors for a few hot days, use an oven (possibly with door cracked on oven), dehydrator, etc. If you do it in the sun make sure to put them on a raised cooling rack or flip them daily so mold doesn't grow on the bottom.

If you already know what a hot pepper looks like, skip ahead to 10:45. And a dedicated coffee grinder makes better powder, but crushing by hand is good for flakes.

I usually use a cutter to do my harvests and haven't found any issue with doing it that way. Believe me, the crunch you hear is so much more satisfying in person when you are doing it yourself. i dehydrate my peppers every weekend.
