All that work and huge mess for one bottle of pepper oil a pot of chili and one quart of highly compacted chili powder.
I thought about adding other ingredients to it like garlic powder and cumin but decided not to.
I already have this stuff in other jars and this way I can just use the powder as I want without other flavors if I dont or do want them.
The cumin they always put in the store bought chili powder drives me nuts.
I dont always want to taste cumin and it seems to over power the other flavors in the mix.
Comparison.
Store bought, cumin.
Mine, fruity sweet tangy with a finish of a little hot but not too much it goes away and the fruity comes back.
This stuff would be great mixed with melted butter and put on a baked potato.
Another option would be to use it with butter and bake shrimp in it in the oven.
I can think of a thousand things to do with it which means it wont last long.
