Tryin a batch of Jalepeno Powder

[ThunderDome]

My mom gave me her dads dehydrator. Figured I'd give it a try. Its an Aroma Dehydrator.

I made some ABT's the other day and the Jalepeno were pretty damn hot so i went back for more

Goin on the dehydrator for 4-6 hours

[SMOKE FREAK]

Cool.....I mean HOT...

Cant wait to see how ya like it...

You are gonna really want a good, tight fitting dust mask/respirator when you go to grind them up.... Trust me on that one, you only do that once without....

I made the mistake of not wearing a mask lol my nose burnt for a couple days lol

[ThunderDome]

Oh wow. Thx for heads up. I wouldn't have worn one

Brad, ur Jal Salt inspired this. Can you share w/ me how u make it?

[Abelman]

Looks good!

If you like those, you will like a thin walled pepper even better as far as finished product goes.

I usually grow my own. I love Thai Dragons but others work well like Cayenne, or Kung Pao. We can get Serrano's here at the store easily as well.

There are a few way to do it. First, I'll put them on some smoke. It really adds a lot of flavor:



or



After they sit on the smoke for 2-3 hours at 180°-200°, they got to the dehydrator.



After that, I just pull off the stems and run them through a coffee grinder.

There's another option if you don't want to grow them and it's much easier. I visit our local ES Asian stores every so often. I can get a huge bag of dried "chili" peppers for $5-7 which is so much easier than finding and growing them. I just run them through the grinder and they carry some great heat.

I made that mistake on a batch of habanero powder. Holy Hell did I suffer for a few hours. But it makes a great spice!
