Peppers

A little research on the internet suggested to me that the best way to use up all the aji amarillo chiles would be to dry them.

A little more research on drying peppers offered two options. The first option is to dry them laid out in the sun. Well, in west Michigan in fall, that's not an option as most days are cloudy and many rainy. The other option is to string them.

So today I strung all the ripe peppers (there are many more coming!) and hung them in a west facing window over a heat vent for drying.

This is the way we dried our rooster spurs - just strung them and hung them in the kitchen. Since they were VERY HOT we used them sparingly and they lasted a year or two, until they got quite dusty!
