convert oven racks to drying racks by stretching cheesecloth

secure with toothpicks or long sewn stiches




set oven at lowest temp but above 150 degrees




for electric oven, wedge a pot holder between oven and door to create a 1" gap

this allows moisture to vent




cut peppers in half to allow faster, proper drying

remove the seeds and place on baking sheet




check every hour to prevent burning - takes all day




chilis are ready when brittle







use a cheap electric coffee grinder for making powder
