Making fresh chili powder from cayenne peppers or any kind of pepper is very easy. I'll show you how I do it using a cheap dehydrator and a mortar and pestle. This process does not save you a lot of money, but it sure is satisfying, since we are growing quality produce in our own Gardens and making food that we can eat with confidence.

"Self mobile kitchen mat" ROFL! Thanks for the video. Mortar and Pestle is high on my list of items I really need. I'm growing some crops specifically for their seasoning use (like cayenne!)

Nice demonstration, Scott. I like to let my cayenne peppers air dry naturally and then make powder or flakes at the end of year.

@laurentraynor2342 2 года назад

I have an older dehydrator still works very well. And I have a bullet that I only use on peppers.

Good morning Scott - Great content - with prices going up daily / weekly . Everything we can We are saving & making ourselves . All hot peppers are getting expensive along with any seasoning . Thank you My oldest Son i grew Serranos for last summer and his wife , my DIL and 2 youngest granddaughters ages 9 & 8 had to leave the house when he was grinding in a coffee grinder - plus he makes alot of his own Hot sauces ! Be careful everyone .... Thank u once again . Sharing with him .... God bless you & your whole family . Josette Tharp Texas 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'm so looking forward to my hot peppers ripening so I can make some powders and hot sauces too! I'll be sure to grind mine while outside just in case, lol, I have terrible luck with spicy dust getting where it shouldn't. 😆

Im just dehydrating my hot peppers today and I really love your videos...we have a huge garden out here in WI and we enjoy all the variety of vegetables we can grow...harvesting, canning, fermenting...we planted 21 fruit trees on the land this past spring we realized its such a shame even if one has less than an acre of land and not grow food...yes indeed, its a generational pride to know we don't have to rely on commercial stores who have so many times deceived us and brought us to ruin our health...so sick of it.

I dried my cayennes hanging in a ristra in the kitchen last year and that works fine, but I'm growing 3 Principe de Borghese tomatoes this year, the best for sun dried tomatoes, and it's just not hot enough here to sun dry. I'm thinking my problem will now be solved. Love your channel!

The first thing I thought about was how Cayenne pepper makes me sneeze (more than ground black pepper) and there's no way I could use my dehydrator in the kitchen to dry it. Outdoors is a great option 👍🏾👍🏾

@GreenLove1 2 года назад

I made my own crushed pepper flakes for the first time last year - used my #SingleSeedChallenge2021 Chinese 5-color pepper pods. OMG, I never realized how much flavor peppers had - I always thought it was just the heat! I am growing about 25 different hot pepper varieties this year. They are very beautiful plants too. See what the #SingleSeedChallenge2021 inspired!?!! Thank you!

Awesome! I plan to make flakes with the Korean peppers, they are supposed to be ideal for that kind of thing.

@joylouise5417 2 года назад

Once the cayennes are powdered, you can put one inch of the powder in a pint jar and fill to top with avocado oil, or the oil of your choice. Stir to blend then cover with a lid that won’t rust. Shake every day to blend the powder in as it settles to the bottom. After a month or two, decant the oil (I do 2 months). Oil will be red and can stain fabrics. Wonderful in stirfries, omelettes and add a few drops to whatever you want-go easy on it to test how hot you like. I saw a 6 oz bottle of cayenne oil at a store and they wanted almost $14 for it. Little bottle! And I just made 16 oz for next to nothing. Just an idea.

@ScottHead 2 года назад

Fantastic, thanks! I may do that with some sesame oil and my Korean chilis.

I love the farm to table content! I would appreciate if you talked about how you clean the produce before processing. I had a rough time with my lettuce and spinach. I was doing vinegar water soaks, and it seemed too harsh.

Yes, I've fermented all kinds of things I made fermented hot sauce a few years ago. Fun to preserve in that way.

Scott, is that a granite sink? If so, how do you like it? I’ve read mixed reviews. Thanks for the video. I am going to try this with jalapeños and maybe even nadapenos this year.

@BlackJesus8463 2 года назад

I hear granite is a little more fragile than the dealers let on.

@ScottHead 2 года назад

Only the counter top is granite. The sink is a composite.

@angiehead6798 2 года назад

Angie- as Scott mentioned, the sink is composite, granite composite. We have really enjoyed it. Like any sink it requires some care. A little buffing, cleaning, and conditioning with food grade oil makes it shine. It does have some chinks and divots from wear but that’s to be expected with stone. Hope that helps.

@davidscarborough713 2 года назад

Great video Scott. Question for you. Is it too late to put hot peppers in the ground? Thanks and please advise when you get a moment.

@ScottHead 2 года назад

Probably not too late for transplants. Probably too late for seeds.

@vonries 2 года назад

I was just wondering how your method and mine differed. I let my peppers dry out whole sitting whole in a strainer on my kitchen counter. As they dry out I pull the completely dry one from the ones that are still moist. (Usually because they were picked at a later date.) I then put the dry ones in a separate ventilated container. Then blend whenever I wanted to, generally at the end of the growing season. I just cut the tops off and blend whole in a dedicated spice(coffee) blender. I would assume if it has bugs they would have lived it their life cycle and erupted from the fruit, correct?

@ScottHead 2 года назад

I did that way a few years ago, just let them dry naturally. As for the bugs, yes they probably would have vacated but the caterpillars leave their frass behind, yuck.

@99thmonkeyresonance66 2 года назад

Question with your dehydrator... (I have an older version of the "Nesco American Harvest dehydrator", and this one- "shuts off/turns on" on its own..) The only reason I was wondering, is I'm looking at another one for surface area/room. But what I have noticed with others is that they don't dehydrate, but rather COOK the herbs, plant matter, medicinal plants/fungi. If you know of any that can change temps/have adjustable Temps (or cycle through, "on for 30 mins, off for 30 mins, etc") I'd greatly appreciate any advice/ tips!

@ScottHead 2 года назад

I only know about the one I have which is low enough temp that it doesn't cook but gradually removes moisture. Its cheap but works.

Not with these since they are hybrids. They would grow but would likely regress to one of the parent varieties.

@gardeninjake 2 года назад

I always leave my peppers lay out and dry. Never tried to dehydrate them. I have one that I've used for almost 20 years to make deer jerky on. In my freezer I have a pint jar full of course ground cayenne and a pint jar of fine ground cayenne. Love the stuff but don't eat too much. It will clean you out, unpleasantly.
