Some Hotties (pic)

This is pretty much my 2006 spread without trying that hard. Thanks to everyone I will have a lot more to try and photograph next year.

The dry ones are two-year old Serranos. Still good. This year's plants are really pumping them out now

The tea towel has absorbed a full season of ocasionally leaking maters, so forgive me for its disgusting state.

Hot is good.

My eyes are watering just looking at those.

So, Grub, how did you go about drying those serranos? I have used a ristra (spelled close to correct, I hope). Wondering if you have a different technique?

Landarc.

My technique is not very scientific I'm afraid. I have a wire egg basket. All the spare peppers go into the basket to dry. Some don't dry so well and go mouldy. I chuck them. Others dry very well. I keep them.

I have read here that I should cut them in half, remove the seeds and membrane, and that they will then presumably dry much better.

I need to try my dehydrator too. It's been a busy season and last night I made another batch of tomato sauce. Pepper play next, I think, as there are many more coming through.
