Default Some Hotties (pic)

This is pretty much my 2006 spread without trying that hard. Thanks to everyone I will have a lot more to try and photograph next year.

The dry ones are two-year old Serranos. Still good. This year's plants are really pumping them out now The tea towel has absorbed a full season of ocasionally leaking maters, so forgive me for its disgusting state.



Hot is good.

So, Grub, how did you go about drying those serranos? I have used a ristra (spelled close to correct, I hope). Wondering if you have a different technique?

Default Drying Peppers

Landarc.

My technique is not very scientific I'm afraid. I have a wire egg basket. All the spare peppers go into the basket to dry. Some don't dry so well and go mouldy. I chuck them. Others dry very well. I keep them.

I have read here that I should cut them in half, remove the seeds and membrane, and that they will then presumably dry much better.

I need to try my dehydrator too. It's been a busy season and last night I made another batch of tomato sauce. Pepper play next, I think, as there are many more coming through.
