Looks good!:thumb:

You do have to be carefull blending pepper powder. Bout died blending some smoked Habanero's one time.

My favorite is to fire roast the jalapeno then dehydrate them. Mix that with salt.

Its green cause I picked the cayennes green and yeah I had to smell the freshly grounded peppers haha Im nosey like that.
This stuff is tasting good, I love me some spices so its cool to have my own.

I have made green jap powder for some sausage making buds that needed it fresh over years....Not something i use much and agree roasting any pepper and drying will add another dimension...

These were good,but then again i grew them....:bounce::whistle:

i actually have an order,but for chunks dehydrated for a bud....He wants be able hydrate the chunks in liquid dishes(sauces,salsa)...Not my cup of tea,but to each dere ownage...

I made the jalapeno salt too and i swear its hotter than the cayenne one, tastes good to me and its cool to be able to use the peppers in so many ways,if you havent tried it get after it, I just added about a 1/4 tsp of granulated garlic, onion powder and salt to the pepper powders.

Not really because I wasnt sure how much pepper powder i had in each batch, just put in what you think seems good and try it, add more if you think it needs it, just start small obviously you cant take it out.
Ihad twice the cayenne powder than jalapeno powder so i put 1/2 tsps of the garlic and stuff in that one basically doubled.

you guys have to give it a try, not sure if fire roasting made the jap one better than the cayenne or what though.

I cant wait to try this, garden permitting. Hell, I just might hit the store, grab some japs & go for it...... So, sounds like you been messing around with it a bit, if you had to start from scratch all over again, what (approximately - guestimate :noidea:) would you include as far as ingredients & percentages?.... If you would be so kind sir :hail:

If you would be so kind sir :hail:

I used about ten to twelve medium to small japs and fire roasted then dehydrated, not really sure how much powder there was but in pic it filled up one of those small spice containers, Can see how many ounces it was if you need but sure you be ok, then added 1/2 tsp granulated garlic 1/2 tsp onion powder and about same amount of regular salt and ground them all up together, seeds of japs too
