Peppers don't feel right

Starlight · August 30, 2015

This year I decided to try and dry some of the sweet peppers. It is way too hot and humid to try and turn on an oven even on low heat for hours and hours.

This is my first time trying the sweets. I de-seeded them and put them on baking rakes and put out to sun dry. It's been a couple of weeks and they still are not dry like the way the hot ones dry up.

When you feel them they remind me of how it feels to try and squish a gummy bear. Is that normal or did I do something wrong and need to try again a different way.

I had read somewhere where bells could be sun dried, so I thought I would give it a try to make a powder instead of just freezing them. Is that not true? Also some look like they getting small black patches on them. Thought that might be mold so out in trash they went.
