Making Hot Pepper Powder

My boyfriend likes his food hot and spicy. I do too, to a point. I like to add hot peppers into the food, but can't always have those peppers on hand.

Last year, I planted many pepper plants. After picking the peppers, I sliced them lengthwise and put them in the dehydrator.

Once dried, I used the coffee grinder to make my own hot pepper powder. Works great in just about any recipe for a little bit of hot!!

my family has as far back that i can remember has strung the hot peppers. we would get a big needle and heavy thread then proceed to string up the peppers -then hang them up to dry they turn red -when you want one just pull it off the string and use for whatever- we put it in our bean soup -oh so good. my dad would also fry them -sure cleaned out the sinuses
