I love your photos. Makes it so easy to follow along and try it myself!

Like 1 a year ago. The amount of time will vary depending on the pepper size and thickness. You can remove the peppers that haved dried and keep the others in the oven until they are all done. Our most recent batch took 6 hours to complete. Also, when opening the oven door, allow the air to escape before looking in - otherwise you will get a hot pepper steam facial!

Sift through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Store in an air tight container. I like the Hungarian hot wax pepper. It produces a lot of peppers per plant. I have dried ones in my spice cabinet dating back a few years. All still good for use.

Very spicy! I use much less of it than store bought stuff. Last year I started with paprika peppers. I also use a coffee grinder for fine powder. For flakes I use a small chopper. Needless to say, I had to cover everything last night. Mother Nature threw a curve ball last night with quite heavy frost here in Manitoba.

I hope for the best. Hi Elizabeth, I just came in from uncovering my tender, warm loving veggies — all seem to be fine. Sounds like you grow some great pepper varieties and are making great use of them. All of them would make great powder or flakes — much more flavorful and potent than store bought versions. I am planning to grind some Ring Of Fire peppers and was curious, do you leave the seeds in or remove before grinding? Hi Jason, I always leave the seeds in.

But remember, that fine powder is pretty nasty to breathe in. When you open the lid of your grinder, look away and let the dust settle. Oh wow, those peppers are beautiful! I love love peppers. Got a question, where did you get your coffee grinder from? I use the same method for grinding up my peppers but the grinder I have is not as big and the blades are not as aggressive.
