Time to dehydrate the peppers!
These red one are only mildly hot.
They grew the best in the garden.
Didn't have too much luck with the green ones this year-
got some, but had to go to the farmers cart to get more.
Five trays each for two days - that's a lot of slicing!
The trays did look pretty and smelled good too!
This is how they looked when finished:
I'll use these all Winter long for stir fry, sauces and soup.
My friend, the dehydrator!
Do you have one? I also use it for basil, mint and chives which I grow in flower boxes .
I love my dehydrater....your peppers look lovely :))
ReplyDeleteIt's messy work, but well worth it! (and I didn't cut myself - not even once - LOL)
DeleteNeat. Looking good. Need to post some of the dishes where you use them.
ReplyDeleteOne question, does this make them prepper peppers?

O.K. will do - Thanks for the chuckle on the prepper peppers! :0)
DeleteGiggle, snort! Prepper Peppers. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI've never used a dehydrator, but am tempted to try one. Here in Central Texas, we can grow any number of desert loving herbs, but it can be tough to grow vegetables on a small scale. I had some real luck with tomatoes grown in buckets. I used a water-gutter system similar to the one 'invented' by a guy in Michigan to grow tobacco. Great system!! Here's the link to his youtube video:

I hooked my rig up to a 55 gallon plastic drum, which I kept filled from rain, as it is a walk out to my garden and I didn't trust a hose to be pressurized full-time.
Fair Winds!

Thanks for sending that video! Would be perfect to put around the edges of the deck. Saves a lot of time hauling water and dragging the hose to the big garden! Lots of stuff to make with the dehydrator - even beef jerky. I have the seasoning, but haven't made it yet.
