This year my Serrano and Habenero pepper plants went wild. 2 each of the plants gave me a huge amount of peppers.
To keep them from going to waste I put them in the dehydrator and dried the heck out of them. When that was done I seperated them and ground them up using the Ninja Prep. I have.
The result was a greenish powder about the consistency of Poultry Seasoning.
This stuff is great.
The Serrano is milder than the Habenro by a fair bit. It evens out the mild to wild variance in peppers.
Wanna give your BBQ sauce a quick bit of flash? A sprinkle of the Habo powder will do it.
Anyway this is something anybody can do and in my opinion well worth the effort.

It sounds great. I can't take the heat anymore......

Don't be too quick to decide. The Serrano powder is just a bit hotter than a Jalapeno and has the advantage of more taste and a controllable amount of heat. As the old time commercial had it "A little dab will do ya'"
But yes absolutely stay away from Habenero unless the digestion is cast iron.:lol:
Got a batch of "store bought" Serrano drying right now to see if they will pass muster. So far so good.

I love the heat.. its the other end that cant tolerate it anymore.

I dig on the idea of the powder too.

The hotter the better I always say. My neighbor gave me a bunch of Habeneros. And then, she brought me over two bottles of her habenero hot sauce. It was excellent. Next year I will have to dry some out to see how they come out.

I had a small question to ask. One that my overly smart wife asked. How do you control the powder so none gets into the lungs? I breathed in some hot chilli powder once and thought I was going to die. This should be hotter yet.

There is really not much dust during the time in the blender. But no I would not recommend having your head right over the blender. A friend of mine is doing some for himself and uses a damp kitchen towel over the blender to trap any dust.
The finished powder is very coarse in texture and not prone to flying about by just opening the jar.
